Here's the East of England's charging points - quite a few gaps in the network...For fun, I made a #map of Electric Vehicle charging points using @OrdnanceSurvey Open Zoomstack basemap and National Charge Point Registry data from Department for Transport @transportgovuk using @Mapbox.

I'm attending a Guardian Mapping course over half term, and am hoping to get the skills to produce something like this.
It has an excellent description:
Everything happens somewhere. That’s geography. It’s hard to think of any problem or opportunity that exists, that doesn’t contain an inherent value or have a geospatial value. Geography is social, a form of visual communication, and maps are incredible sources of storytelling.
If you want to unlock the endless possibilities of geography and the mystery of map-making, all you need is your curiosity and creativity (and a laptop, if you like) - and to come to this class. With Paul Naylor and Charley Glynn, visual data design consultants for Ordnance Survey, you will be taken through the theories behind the art of cartography, as well as how maps can be the foundation of any narrative - helping you to convey your message quickly, clearly and with great impact.
