                Batch Geocoding Script with GeoPy
              
          
    This Python script utilizes the GeoPy geocoding library to batch geocode a number of addresses, using various services until a pair of latitude/longitude values are returned.

                Learnings while geoprocessing vector tiles with turf.js
              
          
    In case anyone is interested, I've been trying to use turf.js on both Mapbox and Mapzen vector tiles, and I've learned a few things I wish I'd known going in.
Background

This thing I've been working on for a month or so here and there, to make maps like this:

First question:
How much work do you want to do


All teh works

Then desktop GIS is for you! Go ahead and find every single background layer you could ever think of and download it! Parks, roads, cemeteries, buildings, streams, water bodies, railroads, wetlands, parking lots, forests, farms...

Now load them all up in your desktop GIS of choice (who are we kidding. It's ArcGIS). Style away! Don't forget to think about scale ranges. So style each thing for each scale range!

Not keen on GUIs? Then grab an old dusty copy of Tilemill, load up each of your layers per usual, and then start writing CartoCSS. It's fun!
