Dotted world map vector resource
06.01.08Filed Under: Resources
Here I present you the dotted world map vector free for download. It comes with three different dot sizes which is fine, medium and large to cater for different purpose and needs. This dotted world map is based on the world map resource from Deviant Art, and I overlay a dotted pattern on top and slowly remove the unwanted dots to form the shape of the world. It took me several days to accomplish this but I think it’s worth it!
I save it in Adobe Illustrator (v10 and above) file format and host it in Mediafire, hope you won’t mind because of the bandwidth concern. Continue read on to see the preview image and download the dotted world map resource!

January 11, 2008 update: I received some comments that UK is missing in the map. I checked the world map, indeed it was missing and some other islands too. So I edit the file and re-upload it, you can download at link below.

January 20th, 2008 at 12:27 amwow thanks a lot for sharing this!! really nice..
February 9th, 2008 at 3:21 pmI am looking for a square version of this, do you have any idea of setting or should i do by hand ( it s just for japan so that might be easy) and also do you know if it s possible to have round/squares more detailed? - I mean smaller squares/rounds.
Thanks anyway thats GREAT!!
you are welcome, jeremy!
Unfortunately I didn’t make the square version. Actually it is quite time consuming to do this map, because I’m using a vector world map, and then placing all the dots over the map, then delete the unnecessary dots to form the map.
February 9th, 2008 at 7:08 pmthanks for your answer!

February 21st, 2008 at 6:59 amThank you so much Jayhan. I wanted to just check with you that it is okay that I use this image in a literacy guide for children. If you could let me know as soon as possible, I would greatly appreciate it.
March 4th, 2008 at 11:43 amhi Ciara, feel free to use it in your design, it’s a free vector resources
March 4th, 2008 at 10:24 pmThanks! this is really good, but I can’t manipulate it. I can´t even move it. what can I do to resize it or that´s the way it is done?
March 6th, 2008 at 11:21 pmHi Sean, actually I locked the layer. You can move and edit it after the layer is unlocked.
Thanks!

March 29th, 2008 at 5:22 amThis is excellent. I dint find this (until now) so I had to make this myself. I used the geobats font–that has the map shapes–and used the (built-in) dot pattern in Fireworks. Simple. Took just 5 min to do this.
March 29th, 2008 at 4:00 pmThe font is free.
@ Diptanshu
Really? what version you using? and maybe can you just tell us how you did that? Thanks.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:20 pmwhat Diptanshu is saying, you can see it here:

How easy can it be ???
March 30th, 2008 at 4:13 pmbut, you did a good work to
that’s really a great dingbat font. Thanks!
March 31st, 2008 at 10:04 amWhere is the UK?
March 31st, 2008 at 10:55 pmHi nigel, UK was included in the Version 1.1 . The original map i followed is actually missing UK as well, so that’s why i made a mistake there, sorry!
March 31st, 2008 at 11:19 pmIt took you several days to do this? I’m sorry to hear that.
There’s a free online application that does this in seconds.
Not to complain about your work… not at all. I appreciate the fact that you worked hard on it and are generous enough to share it.
The name of the application is Rasterbator and can be found here:

Check it out. It will save you tons of time!
April 1st, 2008 at 2:17 amActually not really several days but several nights. I only have free time at night! Rasterbator is cool app! Thanks for sharing

October 22nd, 2008 at 12:33 pmsorry i may just not be looking properly but how do u select the different sizes of dot u want?i cant seem to be able to, i would like the large dots!!
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:16 amThanks for your help!
is a awesome map jayhan
Hi tcr, the different sizes of dots are separated in three layers, one are visible and the other two are hidden. So open up the layers palette to unhide them.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:28 amthankyou very much for your help, much appreciated
October 23rd, 2008 at 11:02 pmjust tried to find the different layers, i can only seems to be able to find only 1 layer:s

Thanks
Thanks A lot!!
November 12th, 2008 at 8:33 pmHello! I never worked with Adobe Illustrator, I’m not managing to find the three dot sizes. What do I have to do?
Cheers
December 4th, 2008 at 4:05 amHi, you have to open it with vector program like Adobe Illustrator. Perhaps you can open it with Photoshop too, but it will lose the vector quality.

March 2nd, 2009 at 9:58 amHi, good resource. But the map I downloaded has only one sized dots, and I do need the large dotted map. Could you let me know how can I get it? Thanks
March 3rd, 2009 at 7:52 amHi Sophie, the other dot sized maps is at other layers which i set them invisible. So just open up the layer palette and locate the big dotted map.
Thanks.
