    Hi Dana, I love the look of your mono map.

    Ive been looking for a good Winkel Tripel {WT} outline and ive been comparing yours to others im thinking of using. Other WT seem to have 6 ''graticule boxes" north and south of the equator and yours has quite a few more.

    Not nitpicking mind you, just curious why you've gone that way. Different scale? Not a Earth size planet etc.

    Anyway really curious about your layout as im planning to rough out my world map on a WT as well.

    It's simply a matter of how you divide up angles. This map uses 10° intervals between parallels, while the other map you looked at used 15° intervals. Size of the planet wouldn't make any difference.
