- mjmdavis 9y agoI think Healpix is included in the tool at the bottom. Also check out the last few in the list which are similar to Dymaxion.
- mitchtbaum 9y agoI like Cahill-Keyes: http://www.cartotalk.com/index.php?showtopic=9406 http://www.cartotalk.com/index.php?showtopic=9406 (d3.js animation included).
- lukewtollefson 9y agoProbably my favorite are the Myriahedral projections[1], basically the Dymaxion map, but with ridiculous number of faces. In his paper he also unfolds a fractal[2].
