The Earth Around You

The whole world, drawn around one single point: yours.

The map uses the azimuthal equidistant projection. Every straight line from the center is the shortest route around the globe, and every distance from the center is true. Rings mark 1,000 to 15,000 kilometers or miles.

You choose the center (any city or any point on Earth), the title, one of 14 languages, kilometers or miles, extra cities and up to 8 special places, such as where you met or were born.

One Ocean Map

There is only one ocean.

The One Ocean Map shows the world's seas the way they really are: one connected body of water. The Spilhaus projection puts the oceans at the center and the continents at the edge.

Ocean currents, depths and coastlines in fine detail make it a calm, deep-blue piece for any wall.
