Talk:World map
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If someone could find australian world map (upside down) and japanese/chinese world map (cut in the atlantic instead of the pacific) I think that would make this article much more interesting!!!
(I'm french I dont write much on the english wikipedia)

- Well, those links didn't work, but you can find them by going to the japanese version of this article (linked) -- Joolz 13:31, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] history
This page is in serious need of a "history" section (unless one exists elsewhere on wikipedia?). I wouldn't know where to start with one, but I'd love to read one. --Dtcdthingy 23:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
I think that's a great idea, but I'm in the same boat. I'd love to see how different cultures interpreted the world through maps at different times in their histories.

[edit] Map of the World - the Book
"Map of the World" should not redirect to this, as there is a very well known novel by that title. Pacian 02:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is there such a Projection as this?:
What about another projection, what I call a "Azimuthal Skirt Projection"; taking a view from either the north or south pole like an Azimuthal, though continuing to the opposite pole.
Are you sure you're not thinking of a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection? It seems pretty close to what you're talking about, unless I'm missing the point completely.

[edit] MiddleForkMaps
06 December 2006 WorldMapServer.net continues to strive to provide useful map resources and search tools. It would like to have itself reconsidered for inclusion in the Wikipedia resources associated with 'World Map.' Middleforkmaps 03:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- ok sure, ill put it in and see what happens. Im particularly impressed with the country subdivisions which mostly arent on google maps --Astrokey44 04:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I have been informed that my inclusion of an external link to worldmapserver.net violated the 'sites-you-own' Wikipedia policy. I am thus inviting the maintainer of this page to either remove the worldmapserver link or affirm its inclusion. Thank you for your forebearance.
(later) I have noted that the worldmapserver link has been deleted. I accept this based upon the 'sites-you-own' policy, which I admittedly (though innocently) violated. Middleforkmaps 01:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] World map with different projections
Is there an (external/internal) link showing world maps created with different kind of map projections so that one can compare them visually. Vjdchauhan 10:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
- map projection would be a good place to start. ¦ Reisio 13:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
