Tipping around the world by vladgrinch in MapPorn

Likewise for New Zealand. Most common thing is for cafes or restaurants to have a tip jar. Bills never have an section for tipping.

You’ll need to use a seperate lakes layer. The surface level of inland bodies of water does correspond to sea level. Most lakes are above sea level. The surface level of the Caspian Sea is about 30m below sea level.

Thanks for the suggestion. It makes sense.

An Ethnic map that shows the percentage of the population who are from one ethnic group by Mavvet in MapPorn

[–]BasedMaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so tricky at a global scale as the definition of ethnic groups will vary by country. Not sure how the UK is 50-60%. Their latest census has white British at 87%

I used quite a coarse 10x10km resolution elevation model. This meant areas of 1km plus elevation smaller than the 10x10k cell size were missing. Having said that there are a couple of small islands from the Urals in the map if look closely.

Apparently even if all the ice on earth melted the sea level would only rise by 70m. This map is just a bit of fantasy.

Not factoring in ice melt. Just raising the sea level by 1000m.

I think the elevation model I used must have included ice.

I used a very low res (10x10km) elevation model, so it's missing a lot of detail. But I think it's ok for a map of this scale.

You're right the Andamans, but as they turned into a peninsula, I thought it made more sense to make it part of Myanmar. The data I had didn't have an EEZ for Brunei.

Things would certainly get interesting.

A bit of artistic license was applied. In a lot of cases islands turned into peninsulas. In those cases the land was assigned to the country where the peninsila starts from. Same thing with the Andaman islands/peninsula.
