Managing and analyzing a telecom network —with its complex web of fibers, conduits, handholes, and terminals—requires more than simple geometric connections. The Esri Utility Network Extension  revolutionizes utility and telecom modeling with a foundational concept: Associations . This blog post explores the four types of associations , demonstrates how to implement them using a telecom dataset , and shares ArcPy/Python snippets  to work with them programmatically. Utility Ne

To add the Strava Global Heatmap to the QGIS project , we can integrate it using XYZ Tiles (also called raster tile layers). Strava provides the global heatmap , which is a visual representation of activity intensity from users (e.g., cycling, running) around the world. Strava Global Heatmap 🧭 What is the Strava Global Heatmap? Strava’s Global Heatmap is a tile-based map showing where Strava users have recorded the most activity. It is available in light and dark variants

UML (Unified Modeling Language)  is super-awesome and useful in creating API architecture diagrams . UML helps visualize the structure and behavior of software systems using standardized diagrams. For API architecture, the most useful UML diagrams are: Component Diagram Deployment Diagram Class Diagram Sequence Diagram 🔰 UML Basics for Beginners What is UML? UML  is a visual language used to model the design of software systems. It helps stakeholders understand how systems a

Not long ago, planning a trip meant unfolding a paper map on your car hood or deciphering a road atlas. Today, it’s about interactive, real-time, and data-driven navigation , thanks to the incredible evolution in geospatial technology. Let’s take a quick ride through time: 📍 Past :Navigation was static. You relied on printed maps, verbal directions, or intuition. Changes in road conditions or closures? You often found out the hard way. 📍 Present :Navigation is dynamic, with
