Realistic map

Posted by CodeTriangle on 22 October 2016 in English.

Has anyone tried to create a map of the OGF world in a better projection? Right now, all I’ve seen is the standard Mercator projection. But I’d love to see a more accurate representation of how the world looks. Perhaps a Robinson? Or a Goode would maybe be better? Since Aiau is in the south polar region, the Mercator really distorts its size… :/

As far as I know, OSM software only allows what we see here.

Luciano did some experiments with projections in JOSM, you can see the results on his user page
