The Charles Darwin Map Projection

Benjamin Schmidt has created a map projection which has been optimized to present the rails of the road of the Beagle during Charles Darwin's 1831-1836 famous survey voyage. Data-driven projections: Darwin's world is an Observable Notebook which visualizes the rails of the Beagle on a map that preserves continuity most the areas where the Beagle sailed, at the expense of areas of the the world that are distant from the path of Darwin's voyage.

Because the map is created inward Observable you lot tin sack alter the information to practice your ain information driven map projections. If you lot click on the arrow side yesteryear side to the 'path' department of the notebook together with thence you lot tin sack edit together with alter the polyline co-ordinates for the Beagle's voyage to whatever polyline that you lot want. The notebook volition together with thence practice a map projection based on your data.


The 'Data-driven projections: Darwin's world' notebook is a fork of the Voronoi Projection. This Observable Notebook creates a map projection based on the centroids of the 43 largest countries inward the world.
