Let’s get out of your way, here’s the full-resolution map:

Now that you’ve seen it and ordered a print :-P, I can start going on on the full process 🙂

Google earth and WMS
A year ago, my sister gave me an awesome present. A big set of small card-sized photos with a set of the highest mountains of Catalunya. The idea is to write on the back when and with whom I “climbed” that mountain.
Last Easter I was planning which closer hikes could I do during the holidays, so I can start filling each card (feels like gotta climb em’ all). It was difficult to know each mountain location from the cards, I fired Google Earth for Linux and started creating points.
It was very easy with the famous ones, since Google Earth finds them directly (Pedraforca, Pica d’estats, etc..), but more obscure ones are a no-no. So I needed extra support to map them.

DBPedia Daily Map
I am pleased to announce the DBPedia Places map. Since I wrote my master thesis about vague places I wanted to do something like this. The vague-places generator was one of the outputs of such work, but I felt the need to see DBpedia points on a map, changing every day.
The final result can be poked at the dbpediamap.tk, this post is an overview of how this small project works.
As a quick taste, here’s a screenshot showing a dataset presented on the website:
