Finally, a new map.

[HandsomeRob]

Hi all,
I have finally updated my site with a new map, which is too big to attach but can be viewed here. For those who are interested, this map depicts the region of Kurnefala and its neighbors, which are part of the empire of Visarmayan. It is the region immediately to the east of the area which I most recently mapped (here).

Do you have the Nat'l Geo style sheet? This is tight

Nope. I do have access to all of their fonts, but I'd get in big trouble if I used them. The style sheet here is my own invention, but it pretty much follows normal cartographic standards.

Wow...just wow. One can only admire those maps. Like in a real Atlas. I'm looking forward to more...

I thought this map was amazing, really amazing then it was put into the shadow of something more amazing. I just been to the site to see that this is one of many (what 27 ?) like it... So I just had to play ! Seriously cool stuff.

Edit -- actually I have a question. Is the map projection built into the maps or is it something that you apply to them. Or to rephrase it, are the maps vector types so that you could do different projections of the same map - like a Mercator or whatever or does it have to be viewed with the one you used because you have labeled stuff to fit with the projection.

Impressive as ever, Rob!

That's sweet!

The projection is built into the maps. It would be great to be able to reproject the maps (it would definitely save me time!) but my software does not have that capability.

It must take a great deal of time to come up with all those names no?

No kidding, I am completely burned out on coming up with names! I need to find a good programmable name generator.

Thanks

So I may be more than a few months late to the party here, but dagum Rob, those are wonderfully impressive maps.

I hope to get in the neighborhood of your level of detail with my own work in time.

Very, VERY nicely done!

Utterly amazing!!

Can't imagine how many hours of work went into this, looks like it came right out of an atlas or encyclopedia.

Thanks.
I average about 8 hours per map.
