Make Map Icons with Orthographic Projections


Create custom projections with only two coordinates and then turn them into icons for endless possibilities.

Layers sourced from ArcGIS Living Atlas: Hurricane Basins, World Countries Generalized, and Global Background. Because theGlobal Background is a giant shape that covers the entire earthwe can use it as a base layer from which things will be removed. In order to see the results of the Erase tool in this image we temporarily set the map background color just for this screen shot to Pacific Blue.
