All Things Spatial tells us about an RTA project to map New South Wales traffic conditions in real-time.

NASA and the US geological survey have launched the stunning Earth-as-Art site.

GIS Development News reports China has drawn the world’s first land cover map of Antarctica.

And…that a project has been announced to launch three new British spacecraft to image the surface of the Earth.

Strange Maps reports on a Swiss / Italian border mapping issue.
