Or one of them, at least. This was my dorm room for my sophomore year in college. I'm really into maps.

From the box base:
Pieter van den Keere (c. 1571-c. 1645) was a Flemish engraver, publisher and globe maker who came to England as a Protestant refugee. Settling in Amsterdam in 1593, he continued to work and began engraving a series of miniature county maps for the British Isles Atlas in 1599. His works also include a map of Ireland, urban panoramas of Utrecht, Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris, as well as a collection of world maps Van den Keere's work here was actually based on a1594 world map by Petrus Plancius (1552-1622). Plancius was a notable figure of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
After the fiasco of the 2K Jumbo puzzle with missing pieces, this made a pleasant remedy. Edges and top and bottom colourful scenes were completed first, followed by the yellow circular lines. That left the two maps themselves to assemble. Finished yesterday evening.
After completion I did a double-check to make sure we'd not done this one before (they all look the same to me!). Sure enough, we've made this image although not this particular version. In my wooden puzzle stash I have a Nautilus purchased last year through eBay...
A map from a book of maps dating back 600 or so years. If I remember rightly the book was published by a Dutch publishing house, written in Latin, and the map - by my calculations - is from the Safavid period whereby by Isfahan would have been the capital and Afghanistan in possession of Persia.
This is the mind-map that outlines the presentation that Renee Alexander, Chris Noble and I gave at BlogWorld 2010

Position: 39.30N 52.34W
Weather: Clear, occasional rain, occasional cloud
Wind: W 15 to 19 knots
Heave: 2 m
We are in the high pressure system, but the weather is not stable.
The tide movement is affecting to our speed over the ground reads over 7 knots on GPS.
At this point, we still have west wind, thus we are sure that it was a good decision to go down south.
The fist storm that we had was showed on the weather map light blue and the size was much smaller than the one we had in winter, thus we thought it wouldn't be so bad. However, the wave was hard and it went over 5 m occasionally. This might be a character of the low pressure on the Atlantic.
This time we decided to go down south to avoid the strong wind according to the weather map. We will mark the longest Day run today!

I just found this on the global site of LG Electronics (http://www.lge.com/general/lg_globalsite.jsp). This map links to the separate LG country sites, sorted by regions. Call me a total nerd, but check this out:
Instead of a reunified Germany, I'm seeing a thick border still running between former East Germany and West Germany (I grew up in East Germany, and I can testify that the reunification did happen.....17 years ago); instead of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, I still see the former Czechoslovakia (which ceased to exist more than 14 years ago...); the CIS is not a nation, it's a commonwealth of sovereign states - the LG map shows the former Soviet Union including the three Baltic states (that never belonged to the CIS but are members of the European Union) and Turkmenistan (which withdrew from the Commonwealth of Independent States in 2005). And: Since there's no separate LG country site for Iceland, I'm not going to mention that Iceland actually belongs to Europe and not to North America (Iceland gets tinted, too, when you roll over North America).
It appears that LG doesn't seem to acknowledge the global political situation after 1990. Sweet, sweet Cold War.
I actually kinda like these little bugs on the map if they just weren't of such a scandalous shame for a global company like LG. Nonetheless I tried to send them a mail thru their "Contact Us" mail form to suggest a slight revise of this map (hint, hint!), but their mail form was so badly coded that - after trying three times - I wasn't able to deliver the message to LG.
So let's just leave LG as the Sleeping Beauty and enjoy the good ol' times before the events of 1989.
Green means open data. Red means closed data. Circles centered on the transit agency. Circle area is proportional to transit agency size in annual passenger miles. Only agencies with entries in the federally-maintained National Transit Database are represented, which is almost all of them.

Distorted by population ( over 3 years ) of 2011 Census Detailed Characteristic areas.
This is my first output from ScapeToad on the High Quality setting. Inspired by the Referendum Result Cartogram published by Heikki Vesanto
The distortion in this case is so high for the peripheral areas that the shading becomes very difficult to interpret. Near Inverness you can see some areas with higher percentages and around the Clyde you can see the 'Glasgow Gaels'. The distortion is so great it makes it hard to visually relate these polygons back to the original Detailed Characteristic areas they represent.
I think it provides an interesting counterpoint to the previous map where you had large areas of the highlands shaded darker but in national population terms these areas are not as significant as they appear on a conventional map.
The areas sizes are a best attempt to match population size while keeping the same bordering areas, each polygon has a size error associated with it.
For the Detailed Characteristic areas I don't think this is a great way of visualizing Scotland because it seems to over emphasize areas which are contiguous and have many neighbours.
Muni is testing an animated map showing the position of all the trains in the entire system.
This replaces a feed from Central Control that was hard to read, but had one advantage in showing whether trains were one or two-car.
What I really need that's not shown here are arrival times. Being able to see N-Judah's bunched up in the avenues doesn't tell me when the next one will arrive. And without any landmarks I can't use this to find a stop unless it's a station or at a line's outer terminal.
Like most of Muni the only directions given are Inbound and Outbound. One of the most common questions riders ask is which way is downtown, but rather than just say "downtown" riders are expected to learn Muni terminology.
I'm not actually at that location lol very near though :)
I'm loving this application. I never installed it on my Pearl. Was too slow & would never attempt that haha
Day 10 of my 30 days of watches is a side scrolling world map based on NASA's topo map. The current "noon" is highlighted under the yellow sun, so the map makes one rotation per day. The local time is displayed around the tropic of Capricorn. When the button is pressed the world spins to display the map.
