Waypoints were just to estimate the spot on the map - I have no info on the crew's intended route since no flight plan was made public. It seemed they followed a combination of coastline, roads and airways. <a href="https://skyvector.com/?ll=36.584657605422414,-118.94787597280629&chart=301&zoom=9&fpl=ILATE%203751N12221W%203749N12228W%203746N12232W%203740N12231W%203712N12224W%20KOAR%20TROXX%20AVE%20GRAPE%2050CN%20XBBOX%20BUGBE%20KBNG%20AKIPE%20TRRSH%20FOILD%20DINBE%20MACIS%20TANKZ%203354N11238W%203351N11217W%203353N11217W" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://skyvector.com/?ll=36.584657605422414,-118.94787597280629&chart=301&zoom=9&fpl=ILATE%203751N12221W%203749N12228W%203746N12232W%203740N12231W%203712N12224W%20KOAR%20TROXX%20AVE%20GRAPE%2050CN%20XBBOX%20BUGBE%20KBNG%20AKIPE%20TRRSH%20FOILD%20DINBE%20MACIS%20TANKZ%203354N11238W%203351N11217W%203353N11217W</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/pilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pilot</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/mapgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mapgeek</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a>

Ian Kluft ✈️🎈🌋"All maps are wrong" by Here & There, Kyle Frost - Neither <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maps</a> nor <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/GPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPS</a> positioning are as precise as people often expect. Even with a good <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/navigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#navigation</a> receiver, a track from a hike or ride has errors around the actual path taken. <a href="https://www.hereandthere.club/post/all-maps-are-wrong" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.hereandthere.club/post/all-maps-are-wrong</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/mapgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mapgeek</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/GNSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNSS</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a>

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)It would be so awesome to have a map nerd in the White House: “Walz tends to speak rapturously about the power of good maps to bring about social change. ‘I know I’m preaching to the choir, but the choir needs to sing,’ he told ESRI in 2024. ‘This stuff works. This stuff makes a difference. The map is wonderful to look at. It’s exciting.’”<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Election2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Election2024</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HarrisWalz2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HarrisWalz2024</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Geography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Geography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeographyTeacher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeographyTeacher</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GIS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maps</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MapNerd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MapNerd</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MapGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MapGeek</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DataVisualization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataVisualization</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DataViz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataViz</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SpatialData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpatialData</a> <a href="https://www.truthdig.com/articles/tim-walz-progressive-map-nerd/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tim-walz-progressive-map-nerd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.truthdig.com/articles/tim-walz-progressive-map-nerd/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tim-walz-progressive-map-nerd</a>

Ian Kluft ✈️🎈🌋"Is map-reading a lost art? In an era of <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/GPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPS</a>, here's what map fans say we're losing" by @CBC - We use maps more than ever in digital society.
