====Maps====

{{ fotos:kaarten:fietskaart.png?300}} Texts in this section are about
maps. Maps in all kinds and forms, like the
[[en:kaarten:luistergidskaart]] on gets at some tourist locations in
China. And about the old [[nl:kaarten:kaart_ricci|world maps made by
the jesuits in China]]. But also about [[nl:ruimte:beidou]], which can
be used for mapping too.

The map above is made from my own tracks (by bike in this case). Lines
are lighter depending on the number of times i have ridden a
particular route. This map was made using my own
[[en:kaarten:eigen_kaart|my own database of waypoints and tracks]]
which i have made over the years with satellite navigation
receivers. First with GPS only, later with Galileo and
[[en:ruimte:beidou|Beidou]], also with a [[nl:digitaal:navspark|home
built receiver]].

{{fotos:kaarten:wereld-goode.png?300 }} This world map shows the
coutries i have traveled to, al least those i visited whan i had a
satellite navigation receiver. The countries are again lighter
depending on the number of track and waypoints. So i have seen more of
China than Switzerland or Spain for example. De map is a bit distorted
by the fact that i was able to log ever more detailed tracks over the
years, and a country i drawn when i have only visited a small corner
of the country.
