Ideal Mapping Merchandise -- Open for business

Ideal Mapping, Inc. has opened its doors very early to the ways of merchandising. Feel free to quickly glance at the eStore: http://www.cafepress.com/idealmapping.

This is just the beginning as the only items available will display out logo. It is anticipated that other GIS graphics and royalty free antics will be added for every geographer and cartographer alike.

Signed,

Possible Fictional Mapping Project Sites

As a side project with some spare time, the thought crossed my mind to see if any (recent) digital data or maps existed for fictional places. After some mild internet research it was found that many cartographers, engineers and gamers alike have dottled with the idea of creating such data but found it too labor and time intensive.

I am here to say I am expecting to climb this mountain to achieve the insurmountable. I have created a list of 10 fictional locations to be considered as candidates for creating digital data for use in any modern GIS package. I am willing to accept other locations not on my list and would appreciate comments assigning your priority to see the data faster.

Fictional Mapping Project Sites:
  • Arkham
  • Hamunaptr
  • Isles of Wisdom
  • Middle-Earth
  • Oz
  • Riallaro
  • Tamoe
  • Treasure Island
  • Utopia
  • Wonderland
