    Default Beautiful map design

    I'm going through my occasional trawl of the Cartotalk website and looking for interesting links (hence flurry of link posting from me).

    Check out this site - for some really beautiful ways to present maps.

    Hrm, all I get are giant black squares...not all that exciting
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    It worked for me the first time (which was like 3 minutes ago) but right now all I see are big black squares.

    Oops. That was probably thanks to me downloading their entire gallery in order to get the whole maps... They're split up into a few hundred small squares each on the highes zoom level.

    Long live HTTrack.

    The site works fine for me now, though.
