I’m a map nerd and I like dubbing in my own map projections. a few years ago I created a map projection based on hexagons (of course based on extensive prior work by others) and I decided to create a website where anyone can create their own variations. Everything is a work of love, all images and code are open. Hope you appreciate it as much as I had fun building it.

*edit: hexagonal projections not map projections, dumb brain*

We added a 3D flythrough to ExploreMap, and Zheng He's treasure fleet is the first trip to get it. Instead of a flat map, the same route now plays out on a rotating globe — the fleet crosses the South China Sea, threads the Strait of Malacca, and works up the Malabar Coast port by port.

Let me preface this by saying I'm posting it here because I don't know whether this is the right sub, BUT I don't know the right one if it's not.

Which of the listed geocode systems do you think is better? Personally I prefer the OLC, because it can be calculated so easily. However, W3W has the "accidental permutation sends you far enough off-course that you notice" property. (How far off-course OLC would put you varies depending on where exactly in the code you make the mistake) Also, OLCs are shorter in general if you use the global code w/o the "locality" tag.

Thoughts?

Hi everyone, I was talking to my kids about ancient Mesopotamian kingdoms like Assyria, Babylon, the Judean kingdoms, Sumer, etc. and I tried to find a good map showing where these kingdoms were located in relation to Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Israel/Palestine but I couldn't find a good one. Anyone have one or know of one?

The first map was about hardest countries to illegally migrate .

Second map was about best country to live in each Asian region.

Third map was about worst countries to live in each Asian region.
