Hi all

I am currently making an interactive map using the leaflet package, and am trying to costuming the legends without using html widgets.

I have two questions-

1. can I change the size of the legends?

2. can I make it so that the legends for base layers are invisible unless the layer is activated?

Again- I am hoping to do this in base leaflet without using HTML widgets.

Thanks 🖤

It's not strictly a cartography question, but I am looking for a way to mass-produce a wall map that I've designed. The dimensions of the project are 48" x 36", and the artwork has some very fine details, for example, toponyms in 4pt font. Does anyone have recommendations on who could print this?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm looking to find an original print map of Palestine that pre-dates Israeli occupation. It's a gift for a loved one who is a Palestinian Muslim, so it's important to me that I find the right kind of thing. I'd love to find one in Arabic, but I'm English speaking and this is already a difficult task, considering the politics involved in maps. I should mention though that the language doesn't matter too much, he's shown an interest in maps that simply acknowledge Palestine. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be incredibly grateful! :)

I have heard that History was written by who had and stole the best maps of the world. Empires rise and fall all because of cartography well; I am hooked by that idea and was looking for books that go into the subject of Espionage, Maps and their making. Non fiction of course; but if there is a Historical Fiction that is an accurate Dramatization i am open to that too. Thanks in Advance and Godspeed.

Nothing in particular to add except a virtual wave at fellow sub members in Tacoma this week. My second year attending, and the community and cartography are excellent yet again.

Hello r/cartography!

We’re an arts non-profit based in New York’s Finger Lakes, focused on folk art and traditional crafts, and we’re looking to hire a talented cartographer/artist to create a regional map for us. We recently applied for a grant to update our maps and signage, and we’d love to bring someone on board who can add a creative touch to this project.

We’re commissioning a map of our local region to give out to tourists, showcasing some cool spots and attractions in the area. The map should capture the charm of the Finger Lakes and have a handmade quality to the design, though it can be created digitally.

To help guide the project, we’ve gathered some style inspiration on Pinterest (but we're open to your artistic vision, don't feel limited by this) and a Google Map with some of the key locations we’d like included (not a final list, but to get a sense of the region). The timeline is flexible, with the goal of having the map ready by early spring 2025.

If this sounds like a fit for you, please reach out to us at programs@folkartguild.org with a few examples of your work and your rates. I don’t check Reddit DMs frequently, so email is the best way to get in touch.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I would need these for a project where i want to overlay existing real topography contour maps based on actual real data in a visual map in illustrator / photoshop. I did similar things with qgis for countries shapes, but couldn't find topographical contour layers to add on top. Any help from any source would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hey guys. Idk if this is a good sub for this but I'm a former Wnc girlie who moved away from home last year, and is watching basically every I love go through the aftermath of Helene SO.

I'm helping remotely!

One big this is getting a map of passable roads. Can you guys help me do the following research?

1. how can I get my hands on an extra large map of the Wnc area that I can laminate and write on? Because that's how my brain works.

2. any technology for Sharing remote map updates with a network of people. Idk maybe even just a high res image everyone can write on that updates on real time? Idk if such tech exists but I'm shooting my shot haha

3. any good newbie resources for me, a girlie who had to Google "what are the people who make maps called" to find this sub. Ideally the most distilled version, or even just ways to check someone else is credible as a cartographer since I am mostly doing networking.

I would super appreciate you guys helping me get this done a lil faster!!! Ty map makers haha

Me and boyfriend have been arguing all week and neither of us have found one

Hello all, first let me say I apologize if this is the wrong sub for this. If it is, I’d appreciate any recommendations you may have for the right place to post this.

Anyways, I’m building a world of my own for Dungeons and Dragons and I’d like to give my players “real” maps of the world I have created. I have created a Mercator Projection centered on where the Prime Meridian and Equator intersect but for this magical world, I have made it so the equator is actually the coldest region of the planet and the poles are the warmest and thusly, most densely populated. I can go into this more if it’s needed but as for my current dilemma, I have no idea how to draw to poles in such a way as to preserve navigation like a Mercator Projection.

I have asked this is a number of groups on both Reddit and Facebook and someone mention I should draw gnomoic maps but I’ve never even heard of a gnominic map and I’m not sure I could really understand any of the math involved without a bit of guidance.

TL;DR What’s the best map for navigation at the poles and how do I draw it?

Hello,

I am currently in the middle of my bachelors thesis and I need your help. Does someone know the most important aspects of choropleth maps when it comes to the actual reader? By that I mean: accuracy, intelligibility etc. The best scenario would be a link to some professional literature where I can find it.

Sorry for a post without an interesting map.

Thanks in advance

Specially municipal maps (Spain, France, Portugal)

Thank you for helping!!

Hi. Can you please give me some feedback on these maps that I have made. Looking to improve my layouts and ensure my maps are professional.

Hello! So I am a massive history nerd obviously and I have decided I want to embark on a rather ambitious project: I want to create a massive timeline for all of human civilization, starting roughly with the founding of Sumer, ending with 2020 election. My idea is that I would like to have a world map where I can put infographics in certain areas detailing historic events that slowly fade in and fade out as needed, making way for new infographics in different areas. Does anybody have any recommendations for how I would go about doing this? Different software I could use? Thanks!
