🧵 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

La France abandonne la projection cartographique dite « de Mercator » et demande une représentation du monde plus équitable
https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2026/09/04/la-france-plaide-pour-une-representation-cartographique-du-monde-plus-equitable_6765749_3210.html
Dans le cadre d’un mouvement porté par l’ #Unionafricaine, Paris a annoncé, vendredi, abandonner l’utilisation de ce #planisphère. Pour respecter la réalité, la place de la France sera désormais plus petite

Now maps without New Zealand will come in Equal Earth projection.

The #CorrectTheMap campaign thinks #Africa is the center of the world? 😆

Some news for cartographers, from the highly-sensationalized #CorrectTheMap campaign
(Their mission to get rid of #Mercator-projection illustrative world maps is a good fight, but a lot of their rhetoric is very ill-informed/misleading.)

🚋 Vienna’s tram line 18 now runs through the Prater to U2 Stadion 🏟️
🗺️ Drawn in the style of the old Wiener Linien single-line maps: geographic, black and white, connecting lines at every stop. My additions: stylised rivers, the rest of the network faintly in the background, north arrow and a scale bar.
🏟️ 3.1 km of new track, seven new stops – and for the first time since line 21 was withdrawn in 2008, you can reach the stadium by tram again.

Spotted in my RSS feeds: a Chrome extension called Retake the Lake. (This link goes to a GitHub repository. Here is the extension in the Chrome Web store.) “This is a (hopefully temporary) extension for Chrome browsers that corrects ‘Lake America’ to ‘Lake Ontario’ in two ways.”
