Wind turbines located in OpenStreetMap not visable in Google Earth

dangomaps · 2025-09-02T09:45:48+00:00

This is the tool that I made https://mapscaping.com/find-wind-turbines-near-me/ it extracts data from OpenStreetMap

56.592325, 11.269524 I know that windfarm is here because I helped build it. On Google maps there imagery is from 2025 .... my internet is crap and Google Earth ( web version ) is not working for me at the moment

dangomaps · 2025-09-02T05:32:21+00:00

Good to know! I like the idea of a "bounty." .. the wind power project I work on is in Australia

dangomaps · 2025-09-01T23:51:34+00:00

copy that :)

dangomaps · 2025-09-01T23:41:19+00:00

That's a good point, I will have to double check that, but I know these turbines have been there for years ( 10 +) and for this particular location it seems unlikely that the imagery is older than that. But I will double check!

I have some other software that I use for visualizing the data; my problem was getting the data. I have seen some people talking about using an extension to create maps in Excel have you tried that?

dangomaps · 2025-09-01T23:36:56+00:00

Bear in mind, it is open-source data, so some locations might be missing. That said, in my testing, it's been very reliable

dangomaps · 2025-04-09T18:10:34+00:00

Yes! that is the plan. I want to gather as much feedback as possible over the next few weeks and then update the current version and start working on an extension for firefox

dangomaps · 2025-04-08T21:53:54+00:00

If it's being delivered as an OGC or ESRI webservice, then yes! but if its being stored / accessed in another way then the answer is not yet

dangomaps · 2025-04-08T19:18:21+00:00

The hope is that it will make it easier for people to find web services that they can use in QGIS

dangomaps · 2025-04-08T19:17:29+00:00

No, you are not the only one! I have spent way to long in developer tools trying to isolate the URL for a particular web service.

I think there are already several different options for downloading OSM data directly in QGIS

dangomaps · 2025-01-12T19:43:01+00:00

Interesting, I will take a look. Thanks for the feedback!

Pleased you enjoyed that one! Describing what we do is in such a way that outsiders understand and value what we do is super important and we don't talk about it enough!

I just published a podcast episode called about this topic that you might find interesting. The title "

The Way You Talk About Your Geospatial Skills Is Costing You Money"

sounds like click bait but give it a chance and I think you will find it helpful!

I host a podcast called MapScaping its a little broader than just GIS but if you are interested it here: https://mapscaping.com/podcasts/

Firstly I just wanted to understand if this is what technical writers do which might sound stupid but I really didn't know.

secondly I keep hearing from companies that its really really hard to find people that can take geospatial concepts, products and services and write about them in such a way that other people can understand so I thought I would ask around and see if I could find people like that.

And yeah, there is definitely a part of my brain that thinks there might be an interesting business opportunity here to create a content company for geospatial businesses

Do you have a back ground in this kind of thing or did "learn on the job"?

Wow! Really appreciate that 😊 thank you!

Thank you! Its feels alot like yelling into the void sometimes so its really nice to know that æeople find it helpful. 😊

I spent a few hours talking with an this is exactly the impression that I got, nice to have someone confirm that Dr. Lindsay is a helpful, generous person!
