**Known unknowns in the North. Uncertain maps of the Arctic in early modern times**
“_By zooming in on world maps and North Pole maps from the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries and examining them in a long-term chronological sequence, we can follow lines and lands that appear and disappear and trace the winding paths of mapping processes and practices through the centuries._”
van Netten, djoeke (2025) ‘Known unknowns in the North. Uncertain maps of the Arctic in early modern times’, International Journal of Cartography, pp. 1–20. doi: https://doi.org/10.1080/23729333.2025.2478270.

#OTD April 1 in 1984, artist Marvin Gaye died. His 1971 album "What's Going On" released by record label Motown is considered one of the greatest albums of all time.
Not only an accomplished singer, songwriter and producer, he also played drums on some early Motown hits, including The Marvelettes 'Please Mr. Postman' and Martha and the Vandellas ‘Dancing in the Street’.

#BendingSpoons is a #PrivateEquity firm. #Komoot #bike users should download their already ridden or planned #tracks as #GPX files as soon as possible before they have to pay a lot for them (or even to get a #map update). Better alternatives to Komoot: #Routing with #Brouter , #Cyclers , #VisuGPX or #Valhalla ; (free) navigation with #OrganicMaps or #CycleTravel . Everything else (photos, etc.) is anyway a #socialmedia feature.

I just realised we own an up-to-date map (march 31, 2025) showing locations of all McDonald and Burger King franchises in Greenland.
Hoping it stays up-to-date for many years to come.

Les terres émergées du Royaume Cassitéride sont donc un peu plus petites que le Guatemala. Beaucoup de taf en perspective, c'est des îles montagneuses et il faut que je détaille certaines zone marines côtières (habitées).
The area of the Cassiteride Kingdom is a tad smaller than Guatemala. A lot of work to do on the topography, those are mountainous islands and I need to do some coastal parts (inhabited).
For some reason, Mastodon pushed a #map of #capybara's in my face earlier today. It looked limited to only a few countries and was based on #GoogleMaps, so I quickly hacked together a small @MapComplete theme: https://mapcomplete.org/theme.html?z=12.4&lat=50.582806254983154&lon=3.883637166368544&userlayout=https%3A%2F%2Fstudio.mapcomplete.org%2F3818858%2Fthemes%2Fcapybara%2Fcapybara.json
The "True Size" site is a fascinating way of comparing the actual size of countries. Here's Australia, superimposed on Europe - showing Cairns to Perth is similar to the distance from Moscow to Madrid.
Fascinating #folklore project: a #map of #folk tunes gathered by Oskar Kolberg, great ethnographer of 19th century, to listen and download. Mostly territories of Commonwealth of Both Nations (that is, today's #Poland, #Lithuania, #Belarus and #Ukraine), but also #Lusatia, #Slovakia, #Slovenia, #Croatia, #BosniaHerzegovina and #Serbia. Sadly, not linked to lyrics, music only, but still a delightful journey.
As Kolberg worked in 19th century, his works obviously do not contain recordings, but the map gives #MIDI, #MusicXML and #EsAC.

Next in my 
Canadian series: la belle province. The symbols of Québec, its provincial bird, the snowy owl and its tree, the yellow birch cover the hand-carved map of #Québec in this #linocut. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, Payne's gray, gold, black and yellow, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.
