## GeoArtifacts.jl v1.1

This release comes with a complete refactor of the internals to benefit from the various repairs of geometries implemented in GeoIO.jl.

The `NaturalEarth` submodule is very comprehensive now, allowing users to download all sorts of datasets with clean syntax.

Below is an example where we create a 3D visualization with a “raster” of the Earth, country borders, airports and water ports:

```julia
using GeoStats
using GeoArtifacts

import GLMakie as Mke

# download artifacts from naturalearthdata.com
earth = NaturalEarth.naturalearth1("water")
borders = NaturalEarth.borders()
airports = NaturalEarth.airports()
ports = NaturalEarth.ports()

# initialize viewer with a coarse "raster"
earth |> Upscale(10, 5) |> viewer

# add other elements to the visualization
viz!(borders.geometry, color = "cyan")
viz!(airports.geometry, color = "black", pointsize=10, pointmarker='✈')
viz!(ports.geometry, color = "blue", pointsize=10, pointmarker='⚓')

```

If we append `Proj(Robinson)` to to all artifacts as in

```julia
earth |> Proj(Robinson)

```

we get a 2D geographic map instead:
