2020 / Day 01: points

Data

Tools

OGR, PostGIS, QGIS, Inkscape.

Summary

The idea of this map is to portray addresspoint Open Data in the Baltic states. Estonian address data was made available for free download and open usage by the Estonian Land Board already a long time (~10 years or so?) ago. The Lithuanian Registrų centras decided to do the same in October 2020. Hopefully the Latvian addresses will be available aswell soon.

To throw in a little bit of colorfulness the addresspoints are colored by their postal code value.

hi-res

As always, I'm late for the train but because reasons I ended up having these two OD datasets open in QGIS when I remembered the #30DayMapChallenge day 1.

Includes some post-tweaks with Inkscape and heavy pre-battering in PostGIS (LT zips)
