The modern cartographer needs a lot more than mapping software alone to be successful. Map solutions often require a breadth of knowledge across a team of capable people who know how to speak each other’s language. That’s something Stephanie May learned throughout her career in the geospatial industry. In this episode, the Director of Geospatial at Stamen discusses the nuances of open data and software; shares her philosophies on how a team of cartographers, designers, and developers can effectively collaborate to solve a geospatial problem; and provides an overview the suite of free and public tools that Stamen has created to facilitate such challenges.
