New to me so sharing -- for those of you who didn't know, there's a font available that gives you tiny US state shapes that can be used as design elements.

it's called State Face, a project by @propublica.org
propublica.github.io/stateface/

(thanks for sharing this, @propublica.org !)

Confused about coordinate reference systems (CRSs)? 🧭🌍🐍

Chapter 6 of geocompy dives into:

- Geographic vs projected CRSs (lon/lat vs meters)
- Getting, setting & reprojecting CRSs
- Why ignoring CRSs can break your analysis 🚨

#GISChat I googled different certs, I came across the following 4:

1.) GISP
2.) ASPRS Certification
3.) GeoInt - Geospatial Intelligence Certification
4.) Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP)

I know a lot of people have their GISP, but who has these other certifications?
