You might look into Inkscape. It’s a pretty sophisticated graphics program along the lines of Adobe Illustrator, but free. I’m not sure but I think it can import many kinds of graphics files, and has excellent image tracing.

If you’re looking specifically at mapping, QGIS is a free, open source, full featured GIS application with a large user and developer base. It’s not so easy to learn, but you can get started with simple maps pretty quickly. Outlines, no problem, just find a shapefile and drop it in.

…It seems like this is a distorted perspective. Like if you play with a rotating globe, you can’t get both North and South America quite so small without bringing more of Australia into view. Which is frustrating, because the Pacific basically covers half anyway without any exaggeration, so why would you? Am I missing something?

Okay, I’ll delete it.

It’s back!

I dunno, it’s just a meme. I hope a view like that is possible.
