    Incredible to see maps evolve from static guides to living, dynamic systems that can shape decision-making in real time.

    Just, my thoughts. There could be so much improvement in such an important matter like fighting wildfires by the usage of data and automated response mechanisms. Why not?

    maps became popular in the eighties with advances in computer printers … they came after road signs and even graffiti. Old maps were told, so they look weird. Screen maps are fun when you can move the origin of perspective like britanica used to have, now-days maps are locked to fool speculation.
