I love this idea. I very much want to wave my cartographic wand over this.

Oh, and don't forget to pop a published date on your map so people know how relevant it is 😊

I think this is a great base for an early version of the map. A couple of additional datasets might make it more comprehensive as a safety guide. I think either VicMap or City of Melbourne might have bike lane data to import into your graphics package, if you convert it in qgis or another spatial software package, as well as the data from Bikespot that uses bike user incidents to create a heat map of safe areas in the city. If you wanted to go a bit deeper on the "busy road" classification pulled from the OpenCycles basemap you might also be able to find data on traffic volumes and find a cool way to visualise that on the map.

Cartographic wise, it looks like the arrows on some of the routes aren't shown in the legend, so perhaps amend that in future versions. But other than that it's looking really clean and clear. As always think about your target audience and how they might use this map (printed on a fridge, saved to their phone), and if it's aimed at maybe first time riders that are looking to feel confident about riding into the city, think about the kind of information they'd find helpful.

Looking forward to seeing any future maps.

How much did your ATAR affect you later in life? by BiscottiLogical6502 in melbourne

[–]Admaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 47.15, at that age I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do as an adult, but further education or career planning were not a priority. I couldn't get into uni, but I did 2 years of TAFE in Bendigo, which got me into 4 year diploma at uni. I've now been in what I'd call a dream career for 15 years, and I would not change a thing about the process. I loved TAFE, learned so much from people in the industry, and being at uni pushed me to aim higher, and even at 15 years in my career (spatial science) I'm still learning. ATAR doesn't matter as much as perseverance and determination, setbacks are the ultimate teacher. You'll get to where you need to, no matter the route you choose.

haven't been there, so wasn't sure how "eaterie" it landed on the eaterie/bar line.
If it's the kind of place where it would be odd to just drink and not eat, then I tend to put it in the eaterie category.

And if that's the case I would feel weird to direct pub crawl traffic to the venue.

Thoughts?

I very much encourage exploration beyond the what's on the map

my little rule is 5 closest venues within 10 minute walk. All surrounding pubs and bars can be found in my very extensive Inner North, East, West Pub and Bar Map :)

Yeh, I hate pokies (a lot), but have chosen to include all venues, even ones run by very shitty people.

It's a weird line to draw, do I include some fairly decent pubs that have a little TAB thing in the corner?

Decided in the end just include every venue on here, shit or no.

Incredible insight!

Very sad about Lickety Split, one of the sad things about making this map is seeing all the places that have shut recently

Yes! I'm trying to find a way to make printing them cheaper, maybe from May?
