July 2022 layers: hot springs, drought monitor & more
Blog post from Felt
Felt, a platform for map customization, is expanding its offerings by curating new data layers to enhance user experience and streamline workflows, particularly for users who need multiple map sources in one place. In June, ten new data layers were added, including USDA Plant Hardiness Zones, local parks from OpenStreetMap, U.S. Forest Service camping and hiking trails, and the July 2022 Drought Monitor. These layers aim to address user needs such as gardening guidance, outdoor recreation planning, drought awareness, healthcare location mapping, and ecological system visualization. Each layer is designed to provide detailed, accessible information, with contributions from various sources like OpenStreetMap and HydroBASINS, to offer a comprehensive mapping experience. Users are encouraged to request additional data layers that would benefit their specific use cases, and Felt's cartographer ensures these layers are visually appealing and functional before they are released.
