The wonderful Waterman Butterfly World Map that @fabian and I created a few years ago from scratch is now available for download!

As I wrote back in 2019: »I always wanted to design my own maps. But it seemed difficult and trivial at the same time. […] Then I discovered the Waterman Butterfly projection. And I was in love.«

If you want to find out more about our design process and the technical challenges (or if you just want to download the map) read on:

World map using the Waterman Butterfly projection. The map was created by Fabian Ehmel and Boris Müller.


Does #OSMAnd have any #hiking or #hillwalking map style display option?

My version shows a very profiles (horse riding!), and apparently a way to import a profile. Is there anything for hiking?

Any #maps / #oldMaps fans out there? Institute of #History PAN has recently created a site showing georeferenced historical maps of #Poland (with somehow loose definition, as Poland tended to wander substantially during the time). Mostly 19th and 20th century, for now. Broad boundaries are years 1796-1947, scale from 1:25000 to 1:500000, and city plans. There are some vague informations about extending the collection, but nothing specific yet.

No English interface (or I haven't found a way to switch), but it's easy enough to use, I suppose.
