Thank you I will look it up over the weekendI use Pixlr, which is a free website. It's not great for complicated maps but it's perfectly compatible with Worlda. It's also pretty simple, just use the one pixel paint brush to draw borders. If you do plan to use this and need help just ask me.
I found a website that's useful for comparing the sizes of countries, states and some provinces.

I need help with a worldA map and I dont know how to create the borders for far off nations
The yellow nation is where I'm struggling at. I'm trying to figure out on how to make topographically correct borders, which are vertical. Also in inkscape, should the desired map be a root?

I think you need to install xQuartz first to run it if you haven't done that already.

Hope this is the right place to share this.
IbisPaintX – A fairly decent app for drawing and editing images for Android. I'm not sure if it's available for iOS, but I felt the lack of options for mobile users needed to be addressed.

ArtStudio is a suitable option for iPhone/iPad (I use the older version available, not the newer release.)
It allows editing of pixels so you can make WorldA and QBAM maps on it. Quite useful when you want to scratch the mapping itch but don’t have access to a computer.
so i downloaded some terrain i want to draw over, only problem is i cant figure out how to open it? anyone want to give me a hand? ive got gis software that says its compatible with the esri file types here but i think it needs it as one file not a million ! heres the source https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/ they have good historical maps under the leisure tab but i need bigboy hieght data for... reasons >_>
! heres the source https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/ they have good historical maps under the leisure tab but i need bigboy hieght data for... reasons >_>How i create my own custom made election maps? Is there a guide or something out there?
So uh, i have a few questions.
1) Is there a website where you can find greyscale heightmaps (like this one:
) but for specific locations, and/or more importantly, not in an equirectangular projection? Even if it's a non equirectangular world map it's ok
2) Can you do this with Arcgis or Qgis? Can you download elevation data and make a grey scale heighmap from it?
3) Is there a way to change the projection of a high quality worldmap? I know about G Projector but it only goes up to 7500 * 3500 px, is there a software that can do it for much larger maps (20,000 px large or more)?
Thanks for your answers.

Yes to all of those questions and I can tell you how! Send me a private message.So uh, i have a few questions.

Can anyone show me a tutorial on how to make a map like this? I'm interested in making these types.
Pardon me, but how would I interpret the RGB value for a colour in a colour scheme/key if it doesn't show the RGB value of a colour in that scheme?
NOTE: The following advice assumes a default menu (and keybindings) for each respective Graphics Editor, and does not cover other editors like Photoshop, as I neither own such programs nor have any experience with them.
In Paint.net, there is a "Colors" window, with a "More >>" button located in the top right of the Color Wheel. Clicking this button will expand the window to the right, providing a section bearing additional information regarding the selected color, including, first and foremost, RGB values. Using the color picker tool (keyboard shortcut: K), select a color of choice in the scheme, and voila! The expanded window should have within it the RGB values of said color.
Interpreting the RGB values in GIMP is a slightly different process. The color picker tool (keyboard shortcut: O) should be used first, as the RGB values of the selected color can be interpreted by clicking the active foreground color, located below the tools menu, whereupon color selection dialog should appear, displaying to the top-right RGB values; each individual value is displayed as a percentage of 255. I have three words after that. Do the math.
I hope this will be of some help to you, and perhaps, other members of the forum...
