Because today is the June #solstice, here is my 2020 animated map of this solstice’s day-night cycle rendered using the #CahillConcialdi map projection, which is my most favorite.

Putting this out into the fedi in the hopes I don't forget about it in the long run: mnemonic device maps.

You know how when you're learning geography and the task is memorizing nations, capitals, etc on a map? With dozens to remember, mnemonic devices are handy. As a cartographer, one day I'd like to make some maps that a) illustrate such devices and b) enable the user to make up their own.

This is something I'd love to do as a freelancer.

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 1️⃣: Points ⏺️

Oh boy, another year of daily mapmaking!

For Day 1, I decided to create a map of the extant airports of the 🇵🇭 #Philippines that have either an IATA or ICAO code. I thought it would be a simple job, but parsing the data from #Wikipedia was pretty gnarly. Once I had clean data, the actual map creation using #D3js was pretty straightforward.

Hi Mastodon! 👋 #introduction

I’m Edgar, and I built Terra Tempora: a free globe where you can scroll through history and watch borders, empires and events change over time.

It’s open source, with no ads and no tracking. Available in English, French and Spanish

🌍 https://terra-tempora.com/?ref=mastodon

Feedback and missing events are very welcome!

Note: this is coded using AI. Added this as some people complained that it was not mentioned.

🧵 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) 🎉🗺️
