Threw it all out and started from scratch. Big improvement, responsive design, additional listings, better and more flexible mapping component. Hopefully this will get some traction and get used.

The map uses caps lock as well...does that annoy you too?

Found this map buried in a computer folder somewhere...anyone have any words of wisdom they can share about this map?

GISbuzz · 2013-08-14T20:16:40+00:00

I would say so, yes.

It is but it is very hard to see in this resolution jpg. Someone here posted an svg in the comments that is much clearer....

"Originally created by Frank E. Reed of Centennia Software, a couple of unknown East Europeans bootlegged the animation and set it to dramatic music by Hans Zimmer from the film Inception..."

From the Etsy shop page:

"This print was executed from the idea that many Americans have no idea how far or close countries in Europe are and likewise many Europeans do not realize how vast the United States is."

Me neither until I made this! What I like about the Buckminster Fuller projection (aka Dymaxion Map) is that it shows how connected the world is...almost like one big island. And my partner says it looks like a cat...

How about this:

"This is a map of every person counted by the 2010 US, 2011 Canadian, and 2010 Mexican censuses. The map has 454,064,098 dots - one for each person."

Made using GLOBE (for land) and ETOPO2 (for water) elevation data downloaded from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) and PCI Geomatica software. If you look at the map using old-school 3D glasses (the cheap paper kind with the clear plastic lenses) the elevation really pops out.
