Maps Made Easy

by HASH on January 24, 2006

planiglobe logoI’m a map addict. For whatever reason, I really enjoy reading and digging into a map of a specific area. I came across Planiglobe (via LifeHacker), which creates vector graphics of any area on the globe. This is very helpful for someone like myself who likes to customize things for use in websites or presentations.


Kenya Map 1
Here’s the map as an Adobe Illustrator file

Kenya Map 2
Here’s the same map after it’s been cleaned up a little.

As you can see, it’s very easy to manipulate and fix up to a usable format.
