Refuge Restrooms is a web application that seeks to provide safe restroom access for transgender, intersex, and gender nonconforming individuals. Users can search for restrooms by proximity to a search location, add new restroom listings, as well as comment and rate existing listings.
We’re trans led and seek to create a community focused not only on finding existing safe restroom access, but also advocating for transgender, intersex, and gender nonconforming people’s safety.

Our toolkit includes satellite and mapping services, tools for verifying photos and videos, websites to archive web pages, and much more. Most of the tools that we include can be used for free. Bellingcat’s Online Investigation Toolkit has a long tradition but our newest version is special: It is offered in collaboration with the Bellingcat volunteer community.
You can also download the tool lists for each category in csv format, or the whole site as a PDF.
This site contains a map of Bell/AT&T Long Lines sites throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. It is my hope to have viewers of the site contribute Sites, Site Document, Site Images, and Site Notes. This site does not contain any advertisements and all information is free for the general public and is hosted at my expense. No profit will ever made from the information on this website.
The AirNow Fire and Smoke Map provides information that you can use to help protect your health from wildfire smoke. Use this map to see:
- Current particle pollution air quality information for your location
- Fire locations and smoke plumes
- Smoke Forecast Outlooks, where available
- Recommendations for actions to take to protect yourself from smoke. These recommendations were developed by EPA scientists who are experts in air quality and health.
The Map is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Forest Service (USFS)-led Interagency Wildland Fire Air Quality Response Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Doesn't seem to have an API but it can probably be reverse engineered to get at the data.
Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110 million scales. Featuring tightly integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth you can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software.
Natural Earth was built through a collaboration of many volunteers and is supported by NACIS (North American Cartographic Information Society), and is free for use in any type of project (see our Terms of Use page for more information).
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which perennial plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual extreme minimum winter temperature, displayed as 10-degree F zones and 5-degree F half zones. A broadband internet connection is recommended for the interactive GIS-based map above.
To find the Plant Hardiness Zone at your location quickly, enter your zip code in the Quick Zip Code Search box in the map above, or click anywhere on the map to view the corresponding interactive map.
The U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) is a map released every Thursday, showing where drought is and how bad it is across the U.S. and its territories. The map uses six classifications: normal conditions, abnormally dry (D0), showing areas that may be going into or are coming out of drought, and four levels of drought: moderate (D1), severe (D2), extreme (D3) and exceptional (D4).
The data cutoff for Drought Monitor maps is each Tuesday at 8 a.m. EDT. The maps, which are based on analysis of the data, are released each Thursday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
A project of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
A curated dynamic collection of websites offer a interesting and interactive experience for users. With real-time data (most of it), engaging maps, and visually stunning data visualizations, this collection is a treasure for enthusiasts of air industry, space, history, world statistics and more!
University of Oregon Route Views Project
The University's Route Views project was originally conceived as a tool for Internet operators to obtain real-time BGP information about the global routing system from the perspectives of several different backbones and locations around the Internet. Although other tools handle related tasks, such as the various Looking Glass Collections (see e.g. TRACEROUTE.ORG), they typically either provide only a constrained view of the routing system (e.g., either a single provider, or the route server) or they do not provide real-time access to routing data.
While the Route Views project was originally motivated by interest on the part of operators in determining how the global routing system viewed their prefixes and/or AS space, there have been many other interesting uses of this Route Views data. For example, NLANR has used Route Views data for AS path visualization and to study IPv4 address space utilization (archive). Others have used Route Views data to map IP addresses to origin AS for various topological studies. CAIDA has used it in conjunction with the NetGeo database in generating geographic locations for hosts, functionality that both CoralReef and the Skitter project support.
OpenStreetMap is an open map being used by millions of devices and users every day. It can both be edited and used by anyone free of charge.
This curated list contains projects using OpenStreetMap data for creative purposes, as well as projects dedicated to improving OpenStreetMap.
A library of handcrafted vector linework for cartography, each designed in a unique aesthetic style. They are meant to break us away from default line paths that we so often rely on by providing more visually-interesting alternatives.
Available in Shapefile, GeoJSON, and Adobe Illustrator formats.
Seems to be a general-purpose mapping server of some kind.
Waarzitje.nu is a basic application for submitting and retrieving live location updates. Originally focused on OsmAnd, but basically any application that supports REST could use it.
The back-end (REST API) of this application is made with Go, the front-end mapping interface is made with modern Vue 3 and TypeScript. Because of its modular setup, it is possible to run only the back-end, only the front-end or a combination of both.
This is a list of small, free, or experimental tools that might be useful in building your game / website / interactive project. Although I’ve included ‘standards’, this list has a focus on artful tools and toys that are as fun to use as they are functional.
The goal of this list is to enable making entirely outside of closed production ecosystems or walled software gardens.
Uses OpenStreetmap data to plan navigational routing. Routes can be optimized for speed, time, or other parameters. Can technically be self hosted.
Up to 500 free isocron requests per day.
FoxtrotGPS is an easy to use, free & open-source GPS/GIS application that works well on small screens, and is especially suited to touch input. It spun off of tangoGPS in 2010 with a focus on cooperation and fostering community innovation. FoxtrotGPS is freely available to the public for use, redistribution, and modification under the terms of the GPLv2. Requires gpsd.
National Geographic has made available free-as-in-beer online USGS topographic maps for everyone to download and print out. Interactively select a region and get five pages of high resolution mapping data. Page 1 is an overview index map. Pages 2-5 are higher resolution quadrants of the index map.
7.5 minute resolution. Sized for 8.5x11 printing so you don't need a huge poster printer.
Requires only an e-mail address to get access.
A Python framework for doing graphical data analysis without needing to know Javascript. Visualizations are updated in realtime as they are interacted with. You'll have to write some code to set it up, it would appear mostly to get the data into the application to begin with.

A Python module which makes it easy to carry out GIS related operations. Look up coordinates of addresses, locations, and landmarks. Has a geocoding function. Can calculate distance between two points on the globe. Pretty straightforward to use.
A site that lets you create map layers on top of Open Streetmap and make them shareable and embeddable. You can upload geodata or sketch in the data you want.
