He only had a Mercator map source data. Unless you know how to switch Google Maps into Peters Projection mode?
I am surprised people who read the article are even asking this considering how much he struggled even to get the source image (and how he ultimately wound up manually stitching together print screens).
- maxerickson 12y agoHe chose Mercator source data. I can understand why someone wouldn't want to set up their own tile rendering system (and hence not use something like OSM with whatever projection they want), but it likely would have been less work than screenshots.

- erroneousfunk 12y agoBut he had the map data and the text data all compressed into a single image -- the text would have been warped as well.
- pricechild 12y agoHopefully someone will find it useful for the reverse, warping an overlay image to place on top.
