Viewer of the latest earthquakes produced in the world
The tectonic plates are in continuous movement on the Earth's asthenosphere, which causes their external zones to limit each other in convergence, divergence or friction, releasing energy and producing earth tremors, which we call earthquakes. The geological results on the Earth's crust of these forces are, among others: rifts, oceanic trenches, island arcs, mountain ranges, geological faults or volcanoes.
Historical cadastral mapping comparison by date
Historical Catastro is the tool that allows you to compare cadastral mapping on different dates to visualize the modifications that occurred. Historical mapping is only available from the time you have cartography in digital format (not before 2002) to the current date.

Heatmap of Strava gps traces
The layouts created by the Strava app, dedicated to serving as a GPS tool for athletes around the world, provides us as a whole with an immense network of paths. The data is created from the daily use by the users of the Strava App, who incorporate the tracks of their sports outputs.

Soviet military mapping of the world
The cartographic production produced by the USSR during the Cold War period is immense, encompassing all corners of the globe. These topographic maps have a quality and a detail that surprises, especially as some of them are so remote and difficult to access for the technology of the time. Today, we can find countries where the best cartographic base is even Soviet maps.
If anyone wants to find out more about the stories behind these maps and some interesting links, I recommend the following page:
