CircaGIS - Mapping For Hobbyists.

Welcome to CircaGIS! (6 June 2015)


I produce training videos and publish GIS data geared toward gamers that wish to incorporate them into their hobby. I like to educate gamers that GIS mapping for RPGs, as well as other games and hobbies can be fun and beneficial, but like anything else you need to invest into it to get something out of it. In no way do I profess that this is better than the map artistry that I see daily on various sites, groups or other venues. I like to think of it as an enabler, if you know what you are doing.


Without blathering on too long, please find attached some works, complete or not so complete listed below.


Thanks and Cheers,

Don
