Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive Equal Earth projection that lets users rotate the world, change its centre, and export high-resolution PNG maps.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The tool calculates the Equal Earth projection live from published equations rather than switching among pre-rendered map images. Its controls include half-degree east/west movement, optional pole-crossing spherical rotation, coordinate entry in several formats, and three listed PNG sizes up to 9920 pixels. Display geography comes from Natural Earth 1:50m data, while the site says high-resolution exports use the 1:10m dataset.
