I'm going to attempt to make a mercator-bam. It will be in mercator projection (obviously).
It will also be very easy to make population, road, river, etc. maps out of this, since mercator has lots and lots of maps dedicated to that stuff unlike Robinson and others.
For resources, I've been mainly using these two:
- https://www.citypopulation.de/en/
- https://mc.bbbike.org/mc/?lon=13.36...10&num=2&mt0=osm-no-labels&mt1=mapnik&marker=
The first link is pretty self explanatory, for the country just go to the map for its counties/municipalities etc. and right click on the map then do copy image or save as.
The second link is kinda complicated, but very useful. So when you open the link, it will have 2 maps side by side. theres a drop down menu to select maps from above each map. Set the left map to Bing Aerial, and the right one to Bing Hybrid, as such:
The zoom level should be at 7:
