Newmap.world Makes Equal Earth a Hands-On Argument
An interactive cartography project that lets visitors compare projections, measure countries, trace routes, and explore Equal Earth world maps.
Field notes
The project combines a public interactive map lab with planned physical map editions. Its six activities include projection comparison, country rotation, route measurement, distortion inspection, and a country challenge. The page distinguishes spherical estimates from official statistics and says its route model uses approximate city centres rather than actual flight paths. It also identifies source material including UNSD, Natural Earth, UN M49, Snyder/USGS, and D3.
