'Now that Dublin is in our bag, on our Tea Towel and across our Aprons, The Cake Café is going to create a new map of Ireland. We want to fill this map with all of your favorite places in land. Please send us locations that turn you on, fire your imaginations, or just fulfill your dreams; what ever you think should be included. Please pass the request on to friends in far flung parts of the land so they too can send their suggestions; natural or unnatural, animal or man made, a view, a corner of a field, an island or even a journey or hidden places to enjoy a picnic. -- thecakecafe /at/ gmail.com'.

Their map of Dublin is a work of genius -- I love that they include a decent chunk of the Northside, which was a notable failure of the Alljoy Design version. I can't wait to see what they come up with for Ireland.

I actually really quite like these, particularly how they render parks. Good for leisure use, maybe not so hot for navigation. cute

a new documentary, based on the work of Tim Robinson, the great Connemara map-maker. showing this Sunday at 1pm at the IFI in Dublin

quite a lot of detail into the prevailing state of the art in how online zoomable maps store their tiles

excellent work at creating a usable public transport map, and proposing a small, consolidated set of Bus Rapid Transit routes (via Antoin)

live weather-station data from across Ireland, overlaid on a Google Map, using amateur and professional stations. fascinating

I didn't realise Firefox's geolocation used wifi triangulation, too

quadtrees, Hilbert curves, and geohashing, as seen in Google's new Closure library. useful for multidimensional addressing in general
