Super Map World

By RORY DUNCAN GIANNI

Overview

Search more than 18,000 ready-made map graphics from Super Map World, covering over 200 countries and the world. Find flat country maps and globe views, filter by projection, colour, and borders - including administrative levels such as regions, provinces, and counties where available. Most maps are free to download and reuse with attribution under Creative Commons and other open licences.

Tools

get_map

ChatGPT

Fetch one published Super Map World catalog map by number or slug. Prefer number from a prior search_maps result. Returns description, location, projection, attribution, cover preview URL, public map page URL, plus guest licence fields (licence, licence_url, share_alike, attribution_mode, attribution_example) and downloads availability (preview PNG sizes free; full PNG / SVG need a licence on the site). Use attribution_example as the guest credit string to cite. The map page (url) is where users open a large preview, download, and may Edit or Animate — MCP does not perform those actions in chat.

list_colours

ChatGPT

Browse the colours Super Map World maps actually use (named colours such as green-3 or violet-5 — not free-form hex codes). Use when the conversation is about which colours are available, to show options in a group (e.g. the greens), or when someone wants the precise CSS value for a colour. Call with no query to list the whole palette. Prefer search_maps when someone wants maps; soft colour words work there directly. The word transparent means see-through: it works with search_maps land_fill, water_fill and highlight_fill, but never as search_maps colour.

list_coverage

ChatGPT

Check what map data, boundary levels, and framing views exist for a location in Super Map World (vector and raster datasets, administrative divisions such as ADM1/ADM2, counties or provinces, unit counts, projections, and data licenses). Also explains whether each dataset is the latest release, has been superseded by a newer version, or has earlier predecessors. Use this to see what is possible for a place before searching for maps, or when checking if a specific boundary level exists. Prefer search_maps when the user already wants maps; pass boundary_type there to filter maps by division level.

resolve_location

ChatGPT

Check whether a place name is one Super Map World knows, and find the closest thing you can actually search for. Use it when search_maps finds nothing for a place, or the name is ambiguous. Maps exist for countries and planets only, so a town or city match will not have maps of its own — use the country_fallback it returns with search_maps instead. Each match says whether search_maps accepts it (searchable_as_location_filter) and how many maps exist for it.

search_maps

ChatGPT

Search the published Super Map World map catalogue. The catalogue covers whole countries and world or globe views — there are no city, road, transit or topographic maps, and no maps with place labels. Use location for a place name (e.g. France) or "the world" for a global view. Use projection Orthographic for globes and views centred on a place, Mercator or NaturalEarth1 for flat world maps. Colour can be an exact name (green-3), a colour group (green), or a plain description (dark blue). Prefer land_fill, water_fill, borders_stroke and similar when the user says where a colour should appear. Use list_colours when browsing which colours are available or looking up a colour's CSS; soft colour words work on search_maps directly. Use list_coverage to check which datasets and boundary levels exist for a place; pass boundary_type here to filter maps by that level, or data_format (vector or raster) to choose between vector maps and physical shaded relief rasters.
