Santa Claus Travel Time Maps

‘Memorable’ year (for mapping too) To quote many a commercial from 2020, this year has been “different” and “unprecedented” for all of us. With the Covid-19 pandemic changing our lives, it would be remiss to not mention the impact it has had on us and thank the tireless work key workers have done to protect and take care of us. Data and mapping has come into its own during this time, helping to…

Twas Brexit What Won It - Re: UK General Election 2019

Twas Brexit What Won It - UK General Election 2019 - With UK set to withdraw the #EU on 31st January 2020, we use election #maps to reflect on how the UK got this point in #Brexit

How we got here

On the 31st January 2020, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is set to withdraw from the European Union – marking the end of the beginning of ‘Brexit’ – something which whether ‘remain’ or ‘leave’, has dragged on for some time. It is this sentiment, that seemed to bear out for voters during the UK general election back in December 2019.

Regardless of your…

Made some web and static #maps and cartograms about the #UKElections2019 which I'm pretty chuffed with, and without getting political either. For the many maps, not the few https://themapden.co.uk/2019/12/11/uk-general-election-2019-map/ #gis #politics #geospatial #cartography (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-c0WOpFv0KlbkqpmnKG4TZk6wWshMldv8OOI0/?igshid=1a0g4sv5iihdx

UK General Election 2019 - Maps and Cartograms

UK General Election 2019 Maps -Politics can be tiresome, but maps aren't. Explore UK's political geography with some interactive #cartograms, #maps and data visualizations. #UKElection2019

For the many (maps) not the few

You can associate many things with politics. Tiresome. Frustrating. Distrust. Divisive. Controversial. 

But there are more positive things which always come around during election time – maps and cartograms (graphical representations of geographical realities). The turbulent nature of British politics has led to another general election on 12th December 2019,…

Back in August I made some #infographics and #maps on global rail fares. Then coincidentally, later in the month, I would be going on one of the most expensive ones mentioned, going from Washington DC to New York City.

How I made a Music Map

How I made a Music Map - Last time, we explored maps about music and released Music Map - Explore. This time I explain how to make a music map (or at least how I did!) #musicmap #gis #music #map #culture #geospatial

This is a follow on from a previous post, where I released my latest incarnation of a music map and discussed other people’s fine work. This post is going to be slightly different from my normal posts, being a FAQ style about the music map for those who are interested to know more. So without further ado…

The originally named, Music Map, is an interactive map regarding…

Mapping Music - Search and Explore

There's many a map about music, as The Map Den explores and releases the latest version of his "Music Map - Search", where you can find out artist's origns. #gis #maps #music

Music to my geographical ears!

I’m coming up to a four year anniversary. When I started it, I didn’t think it would take up so many evenings. I didn’t think I’d learn so much. I didn’t think the journey would still be ongoing. I am, of course, talking about my ‘Music Map’. 

For those who have followed or explored my site, may have noticed my interactive map regarding music artists and the…

Global Rail Fares or Unfair?

Global Rail Fares or Unfair? - The UK takes the (un)official crown as Europe's most expensive #rail service - this and other revelations as The Map Den analyses global rail routes #gis #maps #transport #dataviz

Rail pricing – a global comparison

There are some things in life you can be sure of – death, taxes and UK rail fares going up every year. By coincidence, I was just finishing up a quick bit of research on rail journey prices and cost over distance, when news of the latest price hike broke. In this article, the claim that the UK has the highest rail fares in Europeis investigated. It is something…

Nitrogen dioxide pollutes the air mainly as a result of traffic and the combustion of fossil fuel in industrial processes. It has a significant impact on human health, contributing particularly to respiratory problems.
