All our buses and (night) trains to and from #QGISUC2026 were perfectly on time. 10 out of 10, would recommend. Also explains why the night train was fully booked months in advance. #Nightjet

Here's a preview of the new Vector Field Renderer that will be available in #QGIS 4.4 as a result of the recent crowdfunding for native tools for hydrology. The preview shows how you can visualise a flow direction raster with arrows. #GIS #OpenSource

To be fair, all regions of every map appear significantly smaller than they are.

"The Mercator layout ... Because of its projection style, however, regions near the equator appear significantly smaller than they are"
