Hi,
Does anyone know of an earth map (political borders or otherwise,) or overlay showing Time Zones...? I tried to make one with a miller cylindrical projection but it didn't look right...

Thanks,
Rich

A political overlay map for Celestia by Grant Hutchison is at

Celestia requires "simple cylindrical" projection, also known as "Plate Carree", not "Miller".

Thanks for the reply, Selden.

My previous post, as I re-read it, was a little unclear - I already I do already have the polit borders overlay, which is a great geography tool; I'm really looking for a simple cylindrical version of a time zone map like this....

...whether it has political borders or not is fine.

If I come across one, I'll post about it. It'd make a nice addition. There must be one out there somewhere!

One like this?



I used a low-res map, so it looks more like a pre-school toy than a science-based time-zone map. But, compared to my other celestia stuff, this one turned out great.

Yes, Tanketai, that's pretty much just what I had in mind.
