Google Earth Elyden Stitch
Added 2017-04-13 15:40:33 +0000 UTCI spend much of the day messing around with Google Earth and QGIS, trying to change the projection of my Atlas Maps from Equidistant Conic to Equirectangular, so that I can wrap them around the above Google Earth map.
More importantly I've needed a 'quick' way to convert the maps to Equirectangular, which will be invaluable later on when I need to do larger regional maps in various projections for the atlas. I say 'quick' - it's not a very speedy process changing the projection in QGIS, though its a lot simpler and more precise than doing it by hand on photoshop (Equidistant Conic is a horrid projection to convert out of).
I plan on repeating the process in more detail once I've done more maps, dividing the process into various layers - roads, cities, territories, etc. I'm actually really excited by this process, to the point that it's stalled my next map (you can see it in the lower right - a region with a vertical gulf dividing it)!
Many thanks to /r/tsseepra on reddit for the help with QGIS (which I'd never used until today :)
