GEODNET x The Agentic Future — the Infrastructure That Actually Delivers (Amplification of s4mmy’s latest piece: https://lnkd.in/gkr29kEN) The clearest takeaway from s4mmy’s “Return to Fundamentals”? Real agents need real infrastructure — and GEODNET is already years ahead of everyone else. While most teams are still talking about “AI agents,” GEODNET is powering them: 🚀 20k+ stations across 150+ countries Providing centimeter-level accuracy where GPS fails. Robots, drones, tractors, delivery bots — they all need this precision layer to move safely in the physical world. 📈 Explosive revenue growth GEODNET isn’t theoretical. It’s already one of the highest-earning networks in DePIN, with enterprise usage climbing every month. 🔥 A token model tied directly to real activity More usage → more burn → stronger fundamentals. This is what “back to fundamentals” looks like in DePIN. 🤖 The coming wave of autonomous agents depends on two things: 1. precise location 2. uninterrupted reliability** GEODNET is delivering both today — globally, permissionlessly, and with performance matching (and often beating) traditional RTK providers. And here’s the punchline: If AI agents are the future, then the agentic future runs on GEODNET. It’s the positioning backbone that every autonomous system — outdoors, on farms, on construction sites, on roads — will rely on. Most networks are still hunting for a real use case. GEODNET already has one. And it’s growing at the speed of the autonomous revolution.

Ed Parsons highlights the unique feature of GERS: it doesn't try to lock you to any company or platform. The data is open; anyone to perform their own match. We even publish Bridge Files, letting you understand what data contributes to each entity and enabling easy onboarding AND offboarding to and from these input datasets.

The "Gap" between GPR and GIS is officially closing. If you haven't checked out the latest integration workflows, here is what’s trending: GPR-to-GIS Automation: Tools like IQMaps and SiteMap are now offering 5-minute turnaround times from data collection to geolocated GIS layers. Edge Processing: Modern GPR units are processing signal noise at the "edge" (on the device), pushing clean, interpreted data straight into ArcGIS or QGIS environments. 3D Time-Slicing in GIS: We can now overlay GPR "time-slices" with DTMs (Digital Terrain Models) to see subsurface anomalies in absolute elevation (MASL), not just relative depth. The result? Better decision-making for urban redevelopment and utility maintenance. Is your team moving toward automated subsurface workflows this year? #GeospatialNews #Engineering #GPRSurvey #SubsurfaceMapping #GISIntegration

🌎🛰️🚢 The history of meteorological and oceanographic data sharing is not only a fascinating story; it's essential for explaining why the modern Earth-system data landscape is the way it is today. Check out this fantastic long-form blog post by Deepak Cherian (link in comments) to learn - The early history of weather data collection. - How the world overcame cold-war rivalry to establish the foundations of open weather data. - How oceanographers built a decentralized data exchange protocol in the early 90s before it was cool! - How Earthmover is carrying on this tradition in the cloud-native era

Import OGC API Features and WFS data to DWG/DXF with #SpatialManager for #GstarCAD OGC API Features is a modern, RESTful standard developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for accessing and managing geospatial feature data over the web. It is the evolution of WFS (Web Feature Service) and unlike its predecessor, which relied heavily on XML and complex service operations, this API uses simpler HTTP methods and JSON to provide a more accessible and efficient interface Blog entry and video: https://bit.ly/4iOL6bq Spatial Manager products include a native provider for download and import WFS and OGC API Features geometries and data to DWG or DXF, and also convert them to other formats like SHP, KML, GML or GeoJSON In this tutorial, we use OGC API Feature services from the Netherlands’ public data, published by PDOK (Publieke Dienstverlening Op de Kaart) Follow these simple steps for importing WFS/OGC API Features data to DWG or DXF: 1. Locate your working area - If you already have an existing drawing, execute SPMSETCRS command and select the coordinate reference system proper to your area - If you want to start from an empty drawing, you could execute SPMBGMAPSHOW command, enable any background map and navigate to the desired zone 2. Create data source - From the Spatial Manager palette (SPM command) create a new User Data Source - Select WFS / OCG API - Features as provider - Set the URL of the service end point (in this tutorial we use https://lnkd.in/d2f9ykXE) - Finish the data source wizard 3. Import data - Expand the created user data source - Select the desired table and import it - It is recommended to select Import only Features in the current view to speed up the process - Repeat if you need to import more tables 4. Review data - In addition to the geometries, attribute data is also attached. Review it from the palette (SPM command) or data grid (SPMDATATABLEGRID command) Note: Some functionalities can be found in the Standard or Professional editions only

Why LDBC becomes GDC (Graph Data Council)? The council isn’t abandoning benchmarking. As the graph world has grown from a "niche" to a full ecosystem, new initiatives in training, knowledge-sharing, and community-building are spot-on! (Original post by Dennis Irorere: https://lnkd.in/g-mXRRRQ) Ultipa has always been on making graph technology accessible. These are our latest endeavors to implement and evangelize the ISO GQL - give it a try! And yes, they’re mostly FREE! 👋 GQL Playground - https://lnkd.in/ghpwJJP5 ▶️ GQL Fundamental Videos - https://lnkd.in/gJA83iQg 📓 Getting Started with the GQL - https://lnkd.in/g6PPfsgV 📄 GQL Documentation - https://lnkd.in/gxVDUBup Follow Ultipa's GQL Conformance: https://lnkd.in/gVNJcmBD #Ultipa #LDBC #GDC #GQL #GraphDatabase #GraphAnalytics #LearnGraphs
