Mapping the lake

Friday, September 30th, 2005

So, last weekend Emmet and I set of with a Garmin GPS device and mapped Loe Pool. Part of our journey can be viewed, the rest of the story needs to be told in other ways. For instance, difficulties encountered, investigations made, concepts developed, decisions arrived at, need to be explained with words and some […]

Walking the lake

Thursday, September 22nd, 2005

This Saturday Emmet and I meet to walk the lake. We will walk it with a GPS device so we can leave a trail, and we will mark points of interest.

Clouded yellow butterflies

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

As Emmet and I are walking Loe Pool this week, I thought it was time to revisit and share notes I have about the place. The following words are taken from a meeting with Sarah Myles of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, which took place some time ago, when I first started research for this project.

And I am very roughly imagining the different ways that point data can be visualised. And as I imagine different points and different […]

Creating a mapping interface

Thursday, September 15th, 2005

The following images are in response to an instant chat about http://theirwork.org/map/ We imagined the function of this map. “We can use the function to zoom into different layers. These layers are about spatial data still, but they perhaps won’t always be like an aerial map.” Emmet suggested, “We might use the slider idea to […]
