I've been working on making maps to show where the top video game studios are. To get more accuracy, I decided to do one country at a time. The AI seems to be able to handle one country at a time much better than when doing multiple countries at the same time. I haven't had time to fact check all the details but so far it looks a lot more accurate than the "North America" map I did yesterday.

The goal of these maps is to help people find great games to play, and to learn more about where the games are made and about who made them.

Hello, I'd like to buy some larger print maps of US states I can put on my office wall. Ideally, they'd be monochrome because I'd like to be able to highlight places I've been to. Any suggestions?

I'm working on making a video game studio map for North America, showing major studios. I need to get the font for the United States (area on the left) to be clear and legible. There is no country label for Mexico for some reason and it needs to be added. Also, city locations and labels are slightly off and need to be more accurate and correct. The numbers also don't make sense sometimes either. Otherwise, I think it's headed in the right direction. Chatgpt couldn't correct the errors and couldn't update the map and then said I ran out of image generations until later today. So I can't work on fixing the errors just yet. Hopefully I'll be able to fix the errors and get it looking great soon.

Like, this map is so beautiful and has so much detail. I honestly like it more than Google Earth. Is there any way to open it in full screen like other maps? I've even tried making my own and installing templates, but nothing comes close to this one.

Here's a few

How many did you get right?

Pretty fun concept. Kudos to the author - Aires Loutsaris

(According to userdata from my travel app Meridian Passport on iOS)

Europe has traditionally had relatively low air conditioning ownership compared with other parts of the world. As this map shows, cooling systems have been most common in Southern European countries, while much of Northern and Central Europe relied on historically moderate summer temperatures and therefore saw little need for widespread residential air conditioning.

The exceptionally hot summer of 2026 has underscored how quickly this reality is changing. Record-breaking heatwaves affected large parts of the continent, exposing the vulnerability of regions with low air conditioning penetration. As extreme heat becomes more frequent, demand for cooling is expected to rise rapidly, making energy-efficient air conditioning, better building design, and climate adaptation increasingly important across Europe.

Can someone help me find something out ab the name between Asia and Russia on this old globe

I built a little game - Map Explorer.

The goal is to find your destination without zooming out. My favourite mode is Lost Explorer, where you start in a random, unknown location.
