World Map from Different Perspectives
World Map from Different Perspectives
(OP)
I came across this upside down map the other day...
[img https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0071/5032/produc...]
This made me interested in finding an online interactive map, or even creating it if it doesn't exist yet.
This interactive map would be a 2D projection of the world, where you can have the center of the map be any location of the world (Antarctica anyone?) and you can point North in any direction. It would be fun to see different scenarios of this map.
Has anybody ever ran across such a map, or know how to make one?

A lot of people get confused by rivers that flow north. "How can a river flow up?" they ask. They forget that "up" on a map is perpendicular to the page.

That's like saying Russia is too far away from Alaska in the typical world map

Then I took basic flight training classes and I was taught about the "many ways pilots misuse and misunderstand maps".

A rather strange looking projection is the azmuthal equidistant map, designed to give accurate range and bearing to anywhere in the world from the center location of the map.
Being a ham radio operator, these maps are used to know where to aim beam antennas to places throughout the world. You can custom order them specifying the origination point (center of the map) you want the map drawn from. Fascinating to look at these drawn from different origination points throughout the world.
Airline and ship transit routes say from New York to England, early human migration routes, or the DEW Line of radar stations in the far northern Arctic region of Canada, make more sense when viewed on this type of map projection.

RE: World Map from Different Perspectives
Yes that is along the lines of what I'm thinking about... Do you know if there is an interactive map anywhere can change the centerpoint of an azmuthal equidstant map?
RE: World Map from Different Perspectives
Probably others too.
