Introduction
Azimuthal projection maps of the globe are a useful and convenient way of
seeing the entire globe all at once. I found many of these maps online, but none
were centered around the location I was looking for, nor did they offer the
means of identifying the location of the cities that I needed to have displayed.
So back in 2008 I started another Visual Basic 6 project to do this. The program was rewritten as version 2.0 in October 2017
You can see some examples of the maps created using my program in my Gallery, as well as a more detailed description of the actual program should you be interested.
The Version 2.0 program is available for download as a Windows executable here if you wish to play around with it.
Thank you for looking!
