More on Urbano Monte’s 1587 world map, which, you may remember, the Rumsey Collection digitally assembled into a single map from 60 manuscript pages<\/a>. Now Visionscarto has taken it a step further<\/a>, with a web tool that reprojects a map into other projections, taking the map’s original polar azimuthal equidistant projection and transmogrifying it into 20 other projections<\/a>. Yes, sure, the Mercator is one of them, but so are the Goode Homolosine, the Hammer\u2014even the Dymaxion. The tool is available on both the Visioncarto<\/a> and Rumsey Collection<\/a> websites.
