Time Travel Explorer London
I have recently purchased the slimline version of the Time Travel Explorer (TTX) London iPhone App. There are two versions available: the slimline version (cost £1.79) or the pro version cost (£5.49). The prices sit neatly either side of the Lonely Planet Guide to London app (cost £3.49). This is relevant because both can be ...
Sound Maps

As before I have used RGB space to choose the final colours of each Ward based on the proportion of people voting Labour (coloured red), Other (incl. ...

It is an expedition and fieldwork planning weekend that attracts a range of people from well-known adventurers to academics and students.

Update: New London Tube Map
Mark Easton reports on his blog that the Thames is back on the tube map!
New London Tube Map: When cartography matters
It is amazing that every day we view maps and rarely think twice about the amount of information they show, or consider them abstractions of reality representing the map maker’s view of the world. This is one of the major criticisms of GIS and spatial science as many believe it is impossible to represent the ...
