Script to generate it :

import cartopy.crs as ccrs import cartopy.feature as cfeature import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig=plt.figure(figsize=[15,10])

ax = plt.axes(projection=ccrs.Robinson()) ax.add_feature(cfeature.LAND,facecolor='lightgrey')

1. ax.add_feature(cfeature.OCEAN)

ax.add_feature(cfeature.COASTLINE) ax.add_feature(cfeature.BORDERS)

1. make the map global rather than have it zoom in to
2. the extents of any plotted data
3. ax.set_global()

1. ax.set_extent([-160,160,-90,90])

transform = ccrs.PlateCarree()._as_mpl_transform(ax) for key, value in places.items():

   print(key)
   lon,lat,x,y = value
   # add marker
   plt.plot(lon,lat, marker='D',color='red',markersize=3,transform=ccrs.Geodetic())
   # add text
   plt.annotate(key,xy=(lon,lat), xytext=(x,y),arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="->",color='red'),xycoords=transform)

1. Save the plot by calling plt.savefig() BEFORE plt.show()
2. plt.savefig('map.svg')

plt.savefig('map.png',dpi=200,bbox_inches='tight')

plt.show()
