The VT-BAM project

[Frank]

In the meantime, if you're working on Central Europe, something you might find helpful: the altitudinal V-BAM for Central Europe, bounded by the 30th parallel north, the 60th parallel north, the 30th meridian east, and the Prime Meridian. Thanks to QGIS's raster calculator, maps like these are actually pretty easy for me to generate, so if you want one for another part of the world please don't hesitate to ask.

However, big huge NB: these altitude maps do not contain any information regarding any inland bodies of water. So lakes, rivers, and inland seas with no connection to the ocean will still need to be added.

Anyway, enjoy!

Coastline done

Spoiler

I used a very fast method to do it, so if you export all of the world divided in parts I can draw all of the coastline

Thank you!

I am making a tutorial gif for you

Equirectangular?

Edit: I just checked, it's equirectangular, work will be so fast

Yep. Though I definitely want to do a Robinson, a Mollweide, and a Winkel Trippel.

Here it is (gifs allowed only a limited amount of frames, so I uploaded a video)

Will there be a world map? (I know how ridiculous that would be)

Eventually

Oh my god... you...

Eventually we'll be at the point where people are arguing over the actual border treaties and being annoyed at how imprecise they are.

Did you write a script to do it?

Not necessarily. I can transform it easily from one to the other in QGIS.

Also, @FrankCesco: is there a way to adapt this to doing internal borders? Cos that would make life a lot easier.

Do new England

Do new England

I'll start working on that next.

In the meantime, I just wanted to upload this. Any chance of getting the internal divisions in there?

New England (and the rest of eastern North America):

I am planning to draw them.

Just changing some of the colours. This is the scheme I'm basing mine on.
