#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣3️⃣: 3D

(Almost caught up!)

After creating the previous day’s plate carrée #qibla map, I remembered that this map projection is popular as a texture format when rendering 3D spheres and used in apps like @kde’s Marble,¹ NASA World Wind, and Celestia.²

So I opened Marble, created a new theme using my map, et voilà! We now have an undistorted world map with #Mecca as the north pole! 💪

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣2️⃣: North is not always up 🧭

For this theme, I didn’t want to just turn the map 180° and then slap on a North arrow pointing down, or use a polar azimuthal projection.

So I finally settled on depicting an equirectangular world map where the #qibla, the direction towards #Mecca 🕌 where praying Muslims face, is all up, making the Kaaba 🕋 this map’s “north pole”. The countries are in a choropleth coloring where 100% Muslim ☪️ population is dark blue and 0% is yellow.
