<p class="lead">A collection of Open-Source Mapping tools.</p>
<p>
My goal is to provide free, powerful web applications to help make
Mapping easy and accessible.
</p>
<p>
To do this, I am learning how to make an Open-Source project
sustainable and figure out a way to get paid for my time working on
it. This is an overview of my progress so far.

<h2>What is Open-Source Software?</h2>
<p class="lead">
Open-Source software is software that anyone can view, use, and
modify. Including for commercial purposes.
</p>
<p>
Instead of being controlled by one company, the code is shared
publicly so that individuals, communities, and organizations can
collaborate, improve it, or build on it. This open approach is the
foundation of much of the modern Internet and software as a whole.
</p>
<p>
Many of the tools and technologies behind the websites, apps, and
services we use every day are built on Open-Source software. For
example, the Android operating system, the Firefox and Chrome
browsers, and even the basic building blocks of websites (like HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript) rely heavily on Open-Source contributions.
</p>
<p>
Without Open-Source software, the web as we know it wouldn’t exist.
</p>
<p>
Open-Source software is not just about free software; it’s about
freedom of choice, collaboration, and innovation. It allows anyone
to contribute, learn, and benefit from the collective knowledge and
creativity of the global community.

<h2>About Joe</h2>

width="240px"
height="240px"

Thanks to Open-Source software, I have been building things for the
web both for fun and professionally since 1997. I run an eBay
advertising service called
<a href="https://www.auctionnudge.com/">Auction Nudge</a> and
contribute to the Open-Source software. Currently the former pays
for the later.
</p>
<p>
Open-Source technologies have empowered me (and many others) to
create and run my own business with almost no startup costs. Using
the generosity of others to create value for others and a living for
myself. This is a very powerful concept.
</p>
<p>
In my spare time I enjoy outdoor activities (especially cycling) and
my love of the outdoors is what started my journey into GIS.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>The Master Plan</h2>
<p class="lead">Getting paid to work "for free".</p>
<p>
Being creative, tackling interesting problems and building things
that add value for others.
</p>
<p>
So far, while I have a growing userbase and positive feedback, the
project is far from financially sustainable. While I believe in the
value of Open-Source, the project can only continue if I can figure
out an income stream.
</p>
<p>
By following my interests in this field, and by learning through
doing, I have developed a broad understanding of
<abbr title="Geographic Information System">GIS</abbr> technologies
on the web. By doing this in the open, my software products are
gathering a small, but loyal userbase.

The Open
<abbr title="Geographic Information System">GIS</abbr>
App is a full-featured web-based Map Editor that uses Waymark
JS to create and edit Maps. It runs in the browser and allows
users to create and share Maps without needing to install any
software.
</p>
<p>
Designed for both desktop and mobile devices, your edits are
saved in the browser's local storage, so sessions persist even
if you close the tab or browser. You can also export your Maps
to save them offline or share them with others.

A WordPress plugin to display your live Garmin inReach data.
These satellite communication devices are used for outdoor
activities, especially in remote areas where cellular coverage
is not available.
</p>
<p>
The plugin allows the user to embed a Map on their website,
showing the current location and route of their inReach
device. The Map is responsive, so it works on both desktop and
mobile devices and has a number of customisation options.
</p>
<p>
The plugin enables WordPress users to automatically share
their location with friends and family from anywhere in the
world. While Garmin has their own tools for this, this plugin
makes the process much simpler.
</p>
<p>
I use this plugin myself to share my location on bikepacking
trips, often in remote areas.

A mobile app providing offline trail Maps of the Comox Valley
regions in British Columbia, Canada. Available through the
browser or through the Apple and Android app stores for
offline use.
</p>
<p>
The app was dessigned to be simple and only included one
button - "locate", which uses your device GPS to display your
current location (and which way you are facing). This is
especially useful when navigating trails in terrain without
cellular service.
</p>
<p>
This project taught me alot about distributing topographical
maps to users using web technologies, as well as the logistics
of hosting apps through app stores.

My goal with Waymark was to learn how to create and support a
popular Open-Source WordPress plugin that makes the experience
of creating Maps an intuative and easy on.
</p>
<p>
WordPress is the most popular Content Management System (CMS)
in the world and currently powers over 43% of
<b>all</b> websites. It is also Open-Source and has an
established community.
</p>
<p>
Using the popular
<a href="https://leafletjs.com/">Leaflet</a> library, the
plugin allows users to create and edit Maps with an intuitive
interface. Users can add Overlays (Markers, Lines & Shapes) to
their Maps and style them using Types. Waymark uses
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetMap</a> as
the default Basemap.
</p>
<p>
The plugin has approximately 1000 users, and all sorts of
use-cases (from dog walks to transport maps).
</p>
<p>
The plugin has been made better by user contributions
(feedback/ideas/code/<a
href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/waymark/"
>translations</a
>) and is currently <em>officially</em> available in the
following languages in addition to English:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Dutch</li>
<li>Spanish (Spain & Chile)</li>
<li>Croatian</li>
<li>German</li>
<li>Italian</li>
</ul>
<p>
Thanks to the WordPress translation community, Waymark is
becoming more accessible to users around the world.

<p>
For this project I personally recorded GPS tracks of trails
(by running and riding them), overlaying them on top of
OpenStreetMap data to create a detailed map of the trails.
</p>
<p>
I then created a georeferenced map of the area using
Photoshop, which combined with the users current loction and
heading could be used for navigation.
</p>
<p>
While the map was never published, the project was a valuable
learning experience in creating maps and working with
geospatial data.

Big Hikes Yosemite was a free app which contains information
about four strenuous day hikes in the Yosemite Valley area of
the Yosemite National Park (California, United States).
</p>
<p>
Containing detailed trail descriptions, original photographs,
trail maps and trail head information which I research and
created myself. The map itself I created offline using
Ortelius (now defunct), combining my own GPX with existing
public data.
</p>
<p>
This was my first forey into both native mobile app
development and map creation. I learned a lot about the
process of creating and distributing apps through app stores.

<h2>Lessons so Far</h2>
<h3>Running an Open-Source Project</h3>
<p>
Gathering experience with
<a href="https://github.com/OpenGIS">Github</a>, by running a
project in the open.
</p>
<p>
The next stage is creating a product or service people are willing
to pay for.
</p>
<p>
Slow progress, people are used to getting amazing software for free.
Can be hard to even get reviews, let alone sponsors.
</p>
<p>The feedback received has been positive and encouraging.</p>
