Finally got myself out to Ocean Ranch (part of California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife's Eel River Wildlife Area) again and they've changed it a little. There's interpretive signs and picnic tables and paved parking now. The barn remains are gone.
Had a good time and played with the old dSLR and it seems to have started behaving. At least it has decided not to suck batteries dry in a few hours. I ke

A few birds and flowers, water, dunes, and beach on a new hike at Ocean Ranch. Facilities have been improved and restoration projects march on.

In camera news, I can find cable replacements for the smashed Panasonic FZ300, but I'm pretty sure I need the whole touchscreen replaced, and that's harder to find. The repair requires soldering and I'm not confident around temperature sen…
Clicking for legends and the basemap legend is in PDF, so it offers ArcGIS Earth, Field Maps, and QField all as possible PDF readers (along with the actual reader I would use for this). So there's some new things to try the GeoPDFs with. I…

In pondering what would even be available to replace my busted superzoom camera, I found many pages telling me that the bestest camera in all the world in this category was the Sony Cyber-Shot RX-10 IV, which was discontinued a bit over a …
Yey! Opening .vtpk file in QGIS works perfectly well. (Once getting around that my stable is actually old now, maybe I should update?) It doesn't seem to be getting me closer to viewing them in QField, which it says it can do. So far all I…
I have also tried both the .vtpk and the .mmpk in ArcGIS Earth, which says it opens these, and it just acts like nothing happened when I try to load them. Hit add, hit file, surf over to one, select, and there's just the selections for wha…
I do recall seeing (but not trying) that there are conversions from proprietary (Esri) .vtpk to open .mbtiles, which in turn are compatible with a lot of mapping applications. There's always some loss in the conversion. It would make the s…
