I framed my map of Corsica

I'm excited to share a photo of my framed map of Corsica. I chose a thin metal frame with anti-reflective glass. It feels great to see my own map framed. ๐Ÿ˜€ Let me know your opinions.

Tianditu no longer accessible from outside China?

Not sure if it's just my server but starting a week ago I've noticed http://lbs.tianditu.gov.cn/ blocks my access, saying "Sorry, your request has been intercepted because it appears to be an att*ck." Are other users experiencing this? Pretty sad if this is a permanent thing as, being a gov't site, it is the most accurate online mapping service for China.

Consellations as Navalmap

Hey Folks, I was watching a dokumentaion about unsolved mysteries in catography today and beside some painted maps in a spanish cave, wich we're date to the stoneage and shows the flow of the Atlantik, they talked about a discours of a German Professor (Dr. Kai Helge Wirth). Who discover, in his Teenager years, that the consellations on his own starmap did not match the actully consellations in the sky. After his research he came up that the consellations, witch date also back to the stoneage, are naval maps.

Did anyone of you also heard something simmilar or what are your thoughts of it too.

Hey also got a book about

Need help finding a Kavrayskiy/Robinson world map!

Hey fellow map nerds,

I'm looking for a large (~2000+ pixel width) digital world map in Kavrayskiy VII or Robinson projection, which shows country borders.

So far I was able to find this one and this one from the same site, which require a subscription for a full download and the previews are rather small. Same goes for this one in the Adobe stock library.

The Kavrayskiy VII image on wikipedia is big, but doesn't show country borders.

Any idea where else I could look? Thanks!

Looking for Cool Maps for Decoration โ€“ Need Some Advice!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to get some advice from you all. Iโ€™m looking to add more maps to my house for decoration because I think theyโ€™re super cool and Iโ€™ve always been into cartography. So Iโ€™ve been thinking about a few options and wanted to know what you think makes the most sense:

1.	Buying maps from a website โ€“ are there any sites youโ€™d recommend for cool/vintage-style maps?

2.	Scouring Facebook Marketplace and eBay โ€“ has anyone had luck finding good maps there?

3.	Printing my own maps โ€“ I have some intermediate graphic design skills, and Iโ€™m wondering if it makes sense to design and print my own maps while still achieving that vintage feel.

What do you all think? Any advice or recommendations would be awesome!

Thanks!

Suggestions of maps to show the "problems" with mapping.

I would like to use some maps with my first-year university students for them to discover and discuss some issues with mapping.

I already have maps that illustrate issues relating to distortion (also using this neat website to really hammer it in: https://www.leventhalmap.org/digital-exhibitions/bending-lines/interactives/projection-face/).

I'm looking for some more ideas such as the issue relating to colouring Alaska the same colour as the rest of the USA on a population density map such as this one:

World Population Density Map for 2024 from https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/population-density

It's technically correct, as it's a part of the USA, but it's visually misleading. On this particular map, Greenland (not the same status as Alaska, of course) is much more correctly coloured compared to Denmark.

I'm not looking for fake or erroneous maps; I'm interested in highlighting the limitations of some forms of mapping.

Any examples of ideas would be very welcome. Thanks in advance!
