You know what gives me comfort? –– You know, I know, all my detractors know: when the chips are down y'all will "Export to shapefile"

The more time I spent working with spatial data and building maps etc, the less I hate Shapefile, at least as an input format. Yes it has limitations. But it is easy to work with, quite compact, and has very wide support and industry knowledge.

Hi #GISchat 🌐🗨️, I'm checking in from an undisclosed location and must confess that @pokateo_maps's prev. prompt led me to dust off a #GEDI #EarthEngine script I'd written earlier to compare the outputs from said script w/ my new @shapefiIe.🤔 xitter.cf/BzGEO/status/167666318…

It's not *exactly* on my #GIS task list for the day, but over the weekend, I had the chance to look at the most recent #GEDI and #ICESat2 canopy height model (CHM) outputs for my favorite country (🇧🇿). 😉 xitter.cf/BzGEO/status/167584992…
