Map of Mars

This is an interactive map of Mars: https://anvaka.github.io/mars/

Details

The map was made from a publicly available digital elevation model. Maximum resolution of the model is 200 meters per pixel.

I converted the model into 8 bit, and uploaded it into MapBox studio. The uncorrected labels come from the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature.

To add colors to the map, I had to patch mapbox-gl-js library. The patch is not supposed to have high reusability quality, but might serve as an inspiration for a long time feature request solution on main mapbox-gl repository.
