Release Date:
Like any good product, a basemap is something most people don't notice when it's well-designed. Typically providing context beneath a navigation route or other geographic data, the basemap is arguably the most widely-consumed type of map in modern cartography. However, today's average map user might tilt their head when they hear the term "basemap" for the first time. In this episode, Stamen's lead cartographer, Alan McConchie, talks about his passion for sharing map knowledge with a humble approach and explores some examples of basemaps that help us to define this unsung hero of the mapping world.
