    Default 3D Map: Galapagos Islands

    Hello
    This time I want to share a map in 3D. It has been done using real 3D data, GIS and some hand drawing.
    You can see it in detail at:

    Nice map Fernando, we rarely see GIS based map here, and this one is really beautifull! small critics, the labels are a bit too big to my taste.
    What kind of sofware did you use? Qgis?

    Thanks francissimo
    You are right, The labels are a little bit big because the real size of the map is atound 12 cm. So the labels need to have a size of 7 pt to be readable since it was a map for GEO magazine. Limits of size �� When publishing. Thats why in the web page it lacks a little bit of resolution, even at 600 ppp.

    The GIS I use are QGIS, or gvsig or arcgis, depending on the job. Mainly QGIs. For the 3d a very old software.. WCS
