I don't think there is an area-preserving projection that can work for all the scales online map services are designed for.
If you are creating your own global-extent map at a limited range of scales, most of the OSM tooling for example PostGIS lets you specify a custom projection like http://shadedrelief.com/ee_proj/ http://shadedrelief.com/ee_proj/
- krick 6y agoIf I'm creating my own map I can kinda draw whatever the fuck I want. I need a web-map (preferably OSM-based) that I can use as a web-map, but with a projection less fucked up than Mercator, of which I can name at least 10 in addition to 2 I already named. Also, web-mercator generally is not a problem on small scales, so there isn't really a problem of alternating between projections depending on scale. (Which is not really necessary too, since other projections are generally more or less ok even on small scale. You can totally use globe view on google maps on city-scale and barely notice any difference at all.)
