Turtle Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 I can't seem to find a good printable onto 11 inch by 17 inch paper on the web of Fuller's Dymaxion Map of Earth. I have a friend coming who wants a coppy. One Turtle Rep Point Of Brotherly Conduct For the First One to Find Me One.Where is that darn Waldo anywhere, anywho, anywhat? :) :) :) :) Quote
Turtle Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 Found it:http://bfi.org/node/25Scroll down; the file is a .PNG, only 400 pixels or so, but it's at a resolution of 96000 or so. Save the image, open it, I used Photostudio Five that came with my scanner, & then edit the size - I scaled it up by 1000%. Going to try a print... Quote

GAHD Posted December 10, 2005 Report Posted December 10, 2005 This is a cool map, thanks for letting me know about it. Quote
Turtle Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 The map I linked to simply useless for my purpose...well, a decent version is only for sale. The contest is still on; I want a clear & free version of Fuller's Dymaxian Projection Map of Earth, the least distorting projection EVER invented/discovered by a human. :shrug: Quote

TheBigDog Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Special delivery... Stand by... Bill Quote
Turtle Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 Special delivery... Stand by... Bill I encountered yet more problems with that version. It appears to be the same one from earlier. I may have done something wrong, but I can't zoom in & the map is blurry. Is this really this hard? I tried quite a few sources before posting the contest back in December with little luck. BigDog gets a prize, but the contest isn't over. I want something with sufficient detail to actually use the darn thing like I would a Mercator or other projection World Map. I want both lattitude & longitude as well as the triangle overlay so I can make comparisons. I want political borders, etc. etc. A usable dymaxion world map. Please...if one even exists. If not, shall WE make it? Is it perhaps patented? Why is this so darn hard?:shrug: :cup: :shrug: Quote
