Is it possible to use the Goode Homolosine projection in QGIS? Both QGIS and GRASS seem to have trouble with the interruptions, squashing the higher latitudes together. I tried +proj=goode +ellps=sphere +datum=wgs84 as a custom CRS.

There has been a question on interrupted projections before: Discontinous or Interrupted map projections?

The conclusion was that proj4 (which is used for projection handling in QGIS and GRASS) does not support interrupted projections.

I should have mentioned a ticket on the Proj.4 tracker for Goode Homolosine support (which was created after that question was asked): trac.osgeo.org/proj/ticket/106. Looks like I don't have as new a proj as I thought, though; I'll try updating my proj and see how it goes. Sorry for the duplicate question. – mattwigway Nov 26 '11 at 16:11
