Sounny's Projections
Interactive projection explorer built with D3.js and modern web standards. Features high-res administrative boundaries and real-time parameter tuning.
Enter Modern LabA comprehensive exploration of map projections. Compare geometries, visualize administrative boundaries from GADM, and understand how we flatten the globe.
Every map is a compromise. To represent a curved surface on a flat plane, one must choose which properties to preserve: Area, Shape, Direction, or Distance.
This tool helps GIS professionals and cartographers visualize these compromises using data from the Global Administrative Areas (GADM) database, allowing you to see exactly how your region of interest is transformed across different mathematical models.
