A massive amount of data must have gone into this beautiful website: “The Bird Migration Eplorer” – you can click on the map to pick a migration path or search for species/locations to watch a migration map animated through the year.

I've been enjoying the #30DayMapChallenge posts. I don't have time to take part every day, but thought I'd have a go at the 'Bad Map' prompt (I know, I'm a day late...!)

Anyway, here's my bad map titled 'All the Scots in Scotland' which shows all places with 'scot' in their name. And yes, I have used Irn Bru colours, what's your problem? 😉

Data came from #OpenStreetMap Made in #QGIS and #inkscape

Switzerland, as seen in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence

You can spot the Geneva lake among others.

The "Hall of Geographical #Maps" represent the world as it was known in the mid-16th century.

South Up Equal Earth Projection in R

Yup - I'm still banging on about this! This time, in R

Result

The colours are wrong, and the labels need adjustment - but not bad for a few lines of code!

Code

library(rnaturalearth)
library(rnaturalearthdata)

Holy shit I think I’m in love.

#Protomaps, a way to serve vector #maps of the entire world using a single static file and HTTP range requests.

It’s basically a static site generator for interactive maps. Tile servers are pretty much obsolete now. No database needed, you can run your interactive, smooth-zooming vector map from any HTTP storage. S3, Caddy running on your Wi-Fi router, even GitHub pages.

https://protomaps.com/

It’s open source & free to use. Wow. 🤯
