Request: Clean up and make SVG to make it easier for users to edit. DrewMek (talk) 17:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): This map is still being actively maintained, I'd suggest contacting the author for changes. Kmusser (talk) 13:52, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I realise I didn't really state my reason for requesting here: basically, as far as I can tell, the original, and up until a short while ago, only, user updating the map has been inactive for several months. A few users have come forward stating that they would be able to frequently update the map if it was an SVG, but only one has stated that he has the ability and tools to convert the PNG to an SVG without losing quality, and the process he described seemed, to me, heavily time consuming, given the detail of the map (namely, involving tracing over the lines and reinserting the text; I think he also expressed that finding time for it might be an issue). I am wondering if the users here have a better way of doing it, hence the request (and if not, sorry for wasting time). Thanks!--DrewMek (talk) 19:43, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation, I'm not sure it'll get any takers here - the conversion process would be the same, a rather time consuming task whoever does it. Kmusser (talk) 04:13, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing inset in Andalusia locator map

Here is the PNG version I hacked together, but SVG would be preferable

Article(s): Template:Location map Spain Andalusia

Request: Can someone make a new version of this image with an inset that is basically just Spain (rather than also trying to show where in Europe Spain is)? At a normal article scale (see Pedro Muñoz Seca Municipal Theater e.g.), the current inset map is basically useless--readers can't see clearly where in Spain Andalusia is located. Thanks!

Thanks! I may just upload it as a different image entirely. If anyone else could figure out to remove the Canary Islands, that would be much better. Right now the map is inaccurate because those islands are off the coast of Africa, not near Spain. I was poking around and couldn't figure out how to remove the shadow either, at least without removing the shadow for the whole inset.... Calliopejen1 (talk) 14:36, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Map of Society Islands from Manuae to Mehetia

Resolved

– -- Orionist ★ talk

replicate this with all islands from Manuae to Mehetia
Like this except with more detail

Article(s): Society Islands, Windward Islands, Mehetia, Tahiti, Tetiaroa, Moorea, Maiao, Leeward Islands, Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa, Bora Bora, Tupai, Maupiti, Maupihaa, Motu One (Society Islands), Manuae (Society Islands)

Request: Is there anyway to replicate this but add the outlying islands of Motu One, Manuae, and Mapihaa and sea in between plus the rest of the Society Islands including Tahiti, Maiao, Moorea, Mehetia, and Tetiaroa? It would be a very long map but we can scroll for that. And it will have to have a really high resolution, too. Exact distances and longitude and latitude positioning would be good too... KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:31, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Keithpickering (talk). Feasible, if scrolling is OK, but expect it to be huge. Also, expect no relief on the low atolls as they are very flat, although the higher volcanic islands will show relief OK. This will be a jpeg.

Also, regarding the level of detail, I can include all the stuff in the Isles Sous Le Vent map, but I don't have a comparably detailed source for the Isles du Vent. That leaves the map rather lopsided in terms of detail. I suggest instead including just the largest town on each island (which is easy to find on e.g. Google Earth) and leaving out names of mountain peaks, airports, and smaller towns. Or if you can provide me with a comparable source for detail in the Isles du Vent, that would work too. Keithpickering (talk) 03:44, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Leeward Islands? Isn't the first version already detailed enough? Which ones are you talking about? Do you mean the Windward Islands to the east?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:59, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was referring specifically to Tahiti and Moorea. The references you provided will do fine, thanks. Keithpickering (talk) 18:34, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Version 2: larger scale, topography, bathymetry

Still a lot of work to do, but take a look at the above rough version, and see if this is about what you had in mind for size and scale, and level of detail. Going to a larger scale allows more detail at the cost of more scrolling; going smaller puts more on the page but loses detail. Once we have the basics settled, I will add bathymetry, topograpy, and shading. Also let me know if you have issues with fonts or font sizes. Keithpickering (talk) 21:40, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the size that the final version would be like? It's a great map but the islands are too small to make out especially when you include so many town names around it. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:11, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've enlarged the scale which helps with island placenames, added airports, bathymetry, and topography. A word about the odd topography in Tahiti. This is usually pretty straightforward, but Tahiti turns out to be a very difficult case. Topography and shading is done using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of which several exist on the web. Mostly what I use is SRTM, which is a radar map of the globe taken by the space shuttle using side looking airborne radar. SRTM has a known limitation in that it has data dropouts where terrain is very steep. This includes interior portions of Tahiti. So I went to another DEM, called ASTER which was taken from satellite using infrared. But ASTER also has a known limitation, in that it sometimes cannot tell the difference between cloud and ground. In the case of Tahiti, there are always cumulus clouds over the island in the daytime, so ASTER shows some interior areas as higher than Everest (not good). As a final backstop I went to the GEBCO DEM, which has no data dropouts in Tahiti, but which is much lower resolution (30 arcsec rather than 3 arcsec for SRTM and 1 arcsec for ASTER). What you see here is SRTM where available, ASTER where STRM has dropouts, if ASTER is less than 1200 meters; and GEBCO otherwise. There are some odd artifacts from this procedure in the middle of Tahiti which I will correct "by hand" if everything else looks good. Keithpickering (talk) 17:40, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this will have to do, but can the water be a lighter shade of blue like File:Leeward Islands (Society Islands) topographic map-fr.svg. Can you cut one new one especially for the Windward Islands and make another one without topography for future use as political maps for some of the former kingdoms of the islands.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:46, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
