It's day 19 of the 30 Day Map Challenge and today's theme is "Projections".
(GIS Day) Focus entirely on map projections. Choose an unusual or misunderstood projection to highlight a theme, or visualize distortion. (See xkcd.com/977)
We're often asked for maps in the US Albers projection - where Alaska and Hawaii are resized and positioned below the mainland USA.
This isn't something that Icon Map supports natively, but by using Dirty Reprojectors, we can take the boundary files from the US Census Bureau and reproject them. The resulting files can't be used with a background map so I've set the background style in Icon Map Slicer to be "empty".
This Power BI report contains a couple of examples - US States, and US Zipcodes. As both files can be large, I've generated PMTiles versions.
Here's the Power BI report:
