A GIS Valentine: Bonne Projection and Drawing from the Heart

Valentine’s Day is here again, and the GIS community group at Malagis is buzzing with excitement. Watching the lively discussions makes one nostalgic for youthful enthusiasm. On such a romantic day, shouldn't everything—including GIS—have its own charm? Let’s explore two GIS-inspired romantic ideas shared by the group.

1. The Bonne Projection

Do you still remember the Bonne projection? Or have your cartography lessons faded into memory? Here's what it looks like:
