It's hard to read areas which wrap around the edge of the map. So far this has been solved by choosing a layout which minimizes this (inspired by the Dymaxion map). However, it would be nice to be able to transform maps with different orientations and boundary choices.
I think a good interface would be to always show one of the standard icosohedron nets, but to allow translating and rotating it. Ideally this could be done dynamically in the browser, but adding options to mlu_map.py would already make it much easier. With this one wouldn't need to worry about the net layout during map creation, but could just fix it afterwards.
