• 118 - Online Communities Map (Not For Navigation) « Strange Maps
  Somewhat in the style of a treasure map, this ‘Map of Online Communities’ shows MySpace, Wikipedia, SecondLife and other user-generated phenomena now populating the internet. The geography is not as random as one could assume at first glance. Area and position are significant. Thus, each community’s geographic area represents its estimated size, and the ‘compass-shaped island’ gives clues as to what each quarter signifies: * North are more ‘practical’ communities, * South is for the ‘intellectuals’. * West lie the communities with a ‘real life’ connection, * East those with a focus on the web itself.

• How to find latitude and longitude - Google - Lifehacker
  javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter())); The always helpful Tech-Recipes has come up with an ingenius way to find latitude and longitude values for any location using Google Maps. You'll first need to look up an address (duh), but this trick only works if the address is centered (it's centered by default). So, moving the map around will not make this work. When the address you want to find latitude and longitude for is dead center, copy and paste this code into your browser bar: javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));

• rodcorp: London Tube Map with Walklines: sometimes it's quicker to walk
  * tube map with 500m walklines dotted in (warning: it's a large 429k gif file, pdf to follow possibly. Nb: our photo album constrains the size of the picture, so click the big versions of these pictures if you want to see them full size); big version here. The dense knots are Euston-Warren Street-Gt Portland St in Bloomsbury and Bank-Cannon St-Mansion House-St Paul's in the city. And these are interesting places to walk anyway. * And here's the same with the tube map faded out slightly, so you see the walklines more easily. (232k gif); big version here. * And indeed it might be interesting, for arty folk, to see the walklines without the original tube map behind it. They look like un-named constellations (20k gif); big version here. * The origin

• BBC NEWS: Middle East | Iraqis use internet to survive war
  Google is playing an unlikely role in the Iraq war. Its online satellite map of the world, Google Earth, is being used to help people survive sectarian violence in Baghdad. As the communal bloodshed has worsened, some Iraqis have set up advice websites to help others avoid the death squads. One tip - on the Iraq League site, one of the best known - is for people to draw up maps of their local area using Google Earth's detailed imagery of Baghdad so they can work out escape routes and routes to block. It's another example of the central role technology plays in the conflict - with the widespread use of mobile phones, satellite television as well as the internet - by all sides and for many purposes.

• Edward Tufte: Posters and Graph Paper Napoleon's March
  <<statistic>> <<mathematic>> Probably the best statistical graphic ever drawn, this map by Charles Joseph Minard portrays the losses suffered by Napoleon's army in the Russian campaign of 1812. Beginning at the Polish-Russian border, the thick band shows the size of the army at each position. The path of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow in the bitterly cold winter is depicted by the dark lower band, which is tied to temperature and time scales. Exquisitely printed in two colors on fine archival paper, 22” by 15

  f we were able to take as the finest allegory of simulation the Borges tale where the cartographers of the Empire draw up a map so detailed that it ends up exactly covering the territory (but where the decline of the Empire sees this map become frayed and finally ruined, a few shreds still discernible in the deserts — the metaphysical beauty of this ruined abstraction, bearing witness to an Imperial pride and rotting like a carcass, returning to the substance of the soil, rather as an aging double ends up being confused with the real thing) — then this fable has come full circle for us, and now has nothing but the discrete charm of second-order simulacra.

• The maps from the Voyages Extraordinaies
  On this page you will find scans of all the maps that were included in the original editions of Jules Verne’s novels. Apart from the original maps as published in the Hetzel editions, I have also received a number of maps in exactly the same style, but in another language, or with some minor differences. I keep these other maps on a different page. The majority of these maps use the meridian of Paris as prime meridian.
