Global-TRANSIT: modeling global historic sailing using a least-cost surface analysis
Cost-surface analyses in geographic information systems (GIS) can be a useful tool for approximating the travel of historic sailing ships to fill gaps in the historic record. We present the Global-...

Fascinating new article from Oihana Mitxelena-Hoyos & José-Lázaro Amaro-Mellado, evaluating labelling methods in bilingual maps, with a case study from Euskadi, Spain, doi.org/10.1080/1523... #OpenAccess #GISchat
Impact of cartographic and labeling standards on the dissemination of Toponymy: particularities of bilingual regions. A case study: Euskadi, Spain
Toponymy constitutes a system of literal location, which involves the understanding between linguistic and cartographic norms for effective communication. This complexity increases in bilingual ter...

Great new article from Julian Keil and colleagues, looking at the landmark attraction effect, where locations are memorized closer to prominent landmarks than they actually are. The symbol used also has an impact on this. doi.org/10.1080/1523... #GISchat #OpenAccess
