Hi Everyone! :D

In this week's Live Mapping Session Ralf will be presenting the February issue of the Cartographer's Annual 2022, with Pär Lindström's beautiful new "Book of Maps" style.

Come along and join in the discussion, or watch later :)

Sounds like a really interesting idea. I'm looking forward to seeing it :)

Looking good, Hans :)

I very much hope you are well onto the road of recovery right now, though!

Things are progressing with the tiled half of the set. This is a 'Map file test', where I set up the new buildings in a circular array to check that the map files are working as expected. The buildings on the outside edge haven't been finished yet. I've tried to take on board all the useful and helpful advice from earlier in this thread - in particular the photographic evidence.

That's not possible because those symbols are bitmap images created by the artist and the linework is an integral part of them. I recommend either making the rivers and roads thinner, or the mountains larger.
