Day 277 of #365DaysOfMaps. October 4th is Change a Light Day. Shining a light (groan!) on reducing energy use by switching lights off when not needed and changing to low energy bulbs. Time for an infographic with a projection pun. Carrot Map (277/365) mapdesign.icaci.org/2026/10/…

A little map I made this morning for a friend writing a book. It uses the Mercator projection—a valid choice for this region straddling the equator.

Interview for Geodetski Vestnik (SI) 👉 geodetski-vestnik.com/arhiv/… "Coordinate reference systems and datum transformations are the alphabet and grammar of geospatial data. Without understanding them, we cannot correctly read, connect, and interpret spatial information."
