Making your maps "real"

[CupofJoe]

The program takes your map and wraps it to a map projection of your choice. You can vary just about everything so even if you only have a part of your world, you can see what it would look like in the real-world. I especially like the heart shaped projection...

G.Projector is a cross-platform application which can transform an equirectangular map image into one of over 100 global and regional map projections. Longitude-latitude gridlines and continental outlines may be drawn on the map, and the resulting image may be saved to disk in GIF, JPEG, PDF, PNG, PS or TIFF form.

It could be the ultimate productivity killer for those of us cursed with world buildingitis…
