I always get lost in the Technodrome in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES game. And once I find my way, I get owned by the astronauts. But it's a nice map, I think. One reason I draw my own maps is because looking at a ROM-captured map can be hard to see exactly what the paths are because there's so much detail in the foregrounds and backgrounds. Sometimes my maps of paths are single lines (like Metroid and Aria of Sorrow) and sometimes they're outlined hallways like this. The hallway look is easier to follow, but harder to draw. The proportions keep getting messed up.
This irreverent map of the United States was first drawn in 1936 by Daniel K. Wallingford. Later artists would do similar satirical renditions (including a famous New Yorker cover in 1976); previous artists were more socio-politically themed. The date of this particular printing is not specifically verified, but is believed to be a 1937 reprint.

The nice thing is, I can point to just about every one of the out of town dots, and remember happy hikes, meals with friends, setting out on exciting journeys...
What's this all about? www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/20/iphone-tracking...
Personally, I'm OK with the iPhone storing information about where I've been. It's not like I'm not already tweeting about it, uploading photos to Flickr, reviewing things on Tripadvisor and so on...

Map Postcards had their own charm, not all that useful for finding directions but often nicely coloured with visual appeal and interest.
Kent has a particularly rich and diverse history.

Almost everyone that we told "we're going to St. Kitts/Nevis" would say "Where is that? I've never heard of it" So, I made this map to answer that question.
From Wikipedia;
Map the Miner, also known as "Map Kernow" or the "Son of Cornwall", is a 7 metres (23 ft) statue commemorating the Cornish mining history of the town of Kapunda in South Australia. Built by Ben van Zetten, the statue stands to at the southern entrance to the town, and is regarded as one of Australia's Big Things. The statue was destroyed by fire in 2006, but it was rebuilt and rededicated 12 months later.
Digital Progression created a series of maps for Eurostar stations in London, Paris, Brussels and Lille.
Folks love to peel away ads and maps on these big boards. This one had so many layers removed, it revealed the original map that was here. Look at all of those extra lines that were never built out! And some of the station names are different, too!
The map was also upside-down for some reason. These images are rotated 180 degrees.
