That's quite a problem : see, there's no boders to speak off, as they're not objects but rather gaps between objects. So, modifying them would require to modify the countries' shape.
The best way would probably to find another basemap, as this one is not really fit to work with the way you want.
That's fine, thanks.
I have a suspicion I may just end up doing it in a standard Q-BAM or similar and then tracing it in inkscape. Unless that's an awful idea. I'm struggling to find an svg basmap that fits.
Photoshop Elements is good enough i think.
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a mobile app that can do a respectable amount of flag/map editing? I don't want to pay for something and then have it end up useless, and I don't have a functional desktop right now, just my iPad.
I agree with what LSC said, and will note that I've never used a pre-existing SVG basemap; I always trace over a basemap instead, so it's an entirely legitimate method of making a map in Inkscape.
My computer turned off unexpectedly and I lost an unsaved Inkscape file, is there anywhere I can locate it? Otherwise I'll have lost two days of work
Hey guys! I thought about creating an advice thread for rapid transit maps, but I'd like some feedback if it's worth it.
Anyone got any tips on as to best draw railway lines in Illustrator/Photoshop?
Much obliged
Well maybe the process is somewhat similar. I'm just desperate for inspiration, tbh
Thanks guys, however, as I should probably have noted (sorry!) I was hoping more for something along the lines of what Blomma has done here, for example:

Something akin to a horizontal path with vertical slits inserted along it.
