Interesting map, it makes me want to make a poster out of it.
Since the map is (as far as I could see) a raster, does anyone have any recommendations on engines that can overlay information on maps (preferably open, ranging from svg + inkscape to a custom osm visualizer). I am just asking for curiosity's sake, nothing professional in mind here.

- maxerickson 9y agoProbably QGIS if you are doing something data driven and want a big image as output (especially if the source data has geographic coordinates associated with it). There are a few open map engines, I guess mapserver and mapnik are 2 of the more prominent ones, and now there are several implementations using OpenGL (aimed at tiled vector maps in browsers). But that is all more at the toolkit level rather than the application level. For simple stuff, using leaflet to draw on top of OSM tiles is a nice solution.
