Geoweb Guru at url http://www.equal-area-maps.com/howto.php shows how to create Equal Area maps. It shows various mapping projection with Openlayers. This might interest you.

Last Saturday I was at a party co-hosted by Richard Weait (thanks),
where the topic of maps for amateur radio use came up.
A topic that has been of interest to me is amateur radio and disaster response.
So, I am looking for software that will generate two maps from Open
Street Map data:
- An azimuthal equidistant projection map for any arbitrary latitude / longitude
- A day and night map (ie: what parts of the world are CURRENTLY in
sunshine / darkness)
