Ooops. Now I am the confused one. I was sure that the Times does not have equally spaced meridians along the equator.
As for the Gall-Bomford – yeah, I I really had forgotten that one.

Provided we do talk about the map I linked to above, it shows – increased spacing of straight parallels towards the poles, – probably equally spaced meridians along the equator (the distance doesn’t seem exactly the same everywhere, but this might be due to the poor accuracy of the drawing), – non-e...

I’m a bit confused now – aren’t we talking about the World map image which of course is no polyconic projection?

AFAICS you’ve got to install pip before you can install TopoToImage:

Hello, thank you for your work and your announcement. I downloaded TopoToImage yesterday and already was able to create an image of a kind that I hadn’t managed to get right before ( see my posting here ). So far, I can say that I like the application, but it takes REALLY long to create huge images ...

And, needless to say, what I meant by "more dramatically" was "as much like that famous map by Heezen and Tharp as humanly possible". When we talked about the Heezen-Tharp map last year , I mentioned that I, too, would love to have a map like that. Recently I tried again to appr...

At least there was a map on the wall. I went to school in the UK, and I honestly don't remember ever having a map of the world or a map of the UK on the wall of any of the classrooms. I’m also quite certain that I ever saw a map on the wall in any of the classrooms I visited here in Germany. Occasi...

Eek. I missed this posting. Sorry about that. No problem at all! Meanwhile, I bought a Mac mini M4. I haven’t worked exhaustively with Geocart since, but as far as I can tell, everything runs finde under macOS Sequoia except for the two dialogues mentioned by the OP. But they still take numerical i...

I wish I would have come up with THIS definition of “equal-area”!

Alright, thank you for your reply! At the moment, the solution I prefer is to buy a new Mac but keep my current Mac up and running so that I can use it for Geocart if necessary. And then, I’ll hope for the best; but if the worst should happen: Do you konw if Geocart is compatible to Windows 11 on Ar...
