📸 BREAKING: The UN bravely challenges the ancient art of drawing stuff on paper! 🎉 In a #groundbreaking move, they've decided #maps should show real sizes—shocking concept, I know! 🌍 Meanwhile, cartographers everywhere are fainting in disbelief, clutching their Mercator projections like they're sacred scrolls. 😂📜

Sweating the sub-pixel anti-aliasing bugs so that you don't have to!
This image is from some of my debugging work on one of our upcoming MapLibre styles. I noticed that something wasn't quite right - a tiny single-pixel wide glitch on one side of some of our place-label icons. So then of course I had to track down the root cause...
#thunderforest #cartography #maplibre
Edit: Added a real-life map image, so you see what I mean by a "tiny" glitch - I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't notice!

🧵 1/2: I recently saw this vintage #Qantas poster with a unique “flower” map projection centered on #Sydney (1st image). I love how it almost neatly divides the four largest continents (Eurasia, Africa, and North and South America) into the 4 “petals”.
I sorta became obsessed and wondered if I could recreate it using my mapmaking and coding skills.
Some days of tinkering, coding, and mathing later, I think I managed to do it! (2nd image) 🎉🗺️

The Russian navigation app 2GIS shows an ad for a place... in a completely different location. You’d think this “8 Марта” place is right here, but it’s actually on the opposite side of the city. What you see is just a banner ad.
Thanks @khambogrus for the picture
