Non-climate map that you can use as a source for the new map

- Request
- If you zoom in on the old climate map, you'll see that it's weirdly pixellated; the climate coloring is applied in little blocks, which at some points "overflow" outside the state's borders, and which don't extend all the way to the state's borders in other places. Could you use the non-climate map (a nice SVG) as the basis for a new map (either SVG or PNG) depicting the same climate areas? Note that the area depicted on the climate map is identical to the red-highlighted areas on the other map. I'm well aware that the current climate map is very detailed, and I understand that this request might not be practical. Nyttend (talk) 23:11, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

- I don't think anything is wrong with that first map, the most detailed climate data available for the U.S. is calculated by 30 meter grid cells, so that's not pixelation due to image resolution, that's how the original data comes. So even though the border doesn't match exactly I think it's an accurate representation of the available data. Kmusser (talk) 17:40, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
