50 Maps That Are Useless On The Road But May Give You A Laugh (New Pics)
Maps are awesome. And you can’t convince us otherwise. The obsessed, always-curious cartographer inside us gets excited every time they spot something new to ogle and analyze. However, not all maps are made equal. Some of them lean so heavily into comedy that we can’t help but spread the fun vibes.
The brainchild of Michael Howe, ‘Terrible Maps’ is a wonderfully witty social media project about nonsensical, semi-useless, and hilarious maps. They’re so ‘bad’ they’re good, and they help you look at the world from perspectives that you’ve never quite seen before. Scroll down to enjoy the latest batch below. We hope these maps make you as happy as they did us.

Making a map look good isn’t enough. Just like when you’re designing anything else, you have to find a delicate balance between function on the one hand and form on the other.
The former means that whatever you’re creating actually does what it’s supposed to. In the case of a map, this might mean giving a person clear instructions on the geographical locations, educating them on a specific issue, or making them laugh.

In my experience (northwest France, maybe it's different in Paris), they're more amused that a Brit is even trying to speak in French (as most over here just don't) although it's extremely variable as to whether or not French-in-a-British-accent will be understood. Quite often they'll reply in English, which is fine as English-in-a-French-accent is *SO* cute.

Function aside, the form of what you’re designing matters a lot, too. Like it or not, human beings are drawn to beautiful things. When you make something aesthetic, it captivates people.
Naturally, if you’ve spent a lot of time working on a map, making it the best it can possibly be, you want it to end up being seen by the biggest number of people possible. So, you need to spend some time refining the visuals to make it pleasant to look at.

Load More Replies...All that being said, if you veer too much in either direction, prioritizing form over function or function over form, you might end up pushing people away.
For example, if your map looks absolutely divine, full of artistic flourishes, gorgeous fonts, and well-coordinated colors, but your audience gets lost among the details, you’ve failed as a cartographer.
Often, less is more.
You need to use the visuals to make it clear what the most important information on your map is.

On the other side of the scale, you have maps that are incredibly accurate and informative, but they lack that spark that would otherwise make them stand out from the crowd.
So, they fulfill their function well, but their form falls short of good design principles. A bit of imagination and soulfulness can really make your map sing.
People are very visual creatures. You need to know how to get their attention instantly as they’re scrolling through their social media feeds.

As per Geography Realm, something to keep in mind when making a map is that you should only picture the area that is relevant to the data.
That sounds like common sense, but it’s fundamental.
What's more, any data that you choose to include on the map itself should be relevant. “Cluttering the map with too much background data can lead to excess noise and dilute the actual message of the map.”

- The color choices you make
- The widths of your lines
- The icons you use
- The labeling
Of course, no proper map is complete without a legend. It allows your audience to decipher the symbology of the map. In a nutshell, the legend has to be legible and easy to understand.

I'm more concerned about those who sh!t once every ~4 days. Each session must be like unleashing a weapon of mass destruction.

Which Way Do Windows Open In Europe?
Verena 5 months ago (edited)
In the Netherlands windows of houses usually open outward (unless built after 2000). It really annoyed me after moving from Germany (for work) some 30 years ago. It requires a glass cleaner with a long stick - either a human one, dropping by once a month or a trip to the DIY-shop and some lessons in ladder artistics. The reason: In a windy and rainy country you very quickly learn the advantages of a window blown shut instead of open.

most newer windows go outwards but we really have a mix of both

The Most Commonly Spoken Language Besides Spanish In Each State
Gavin Johnson 5 months ago
You say English but as a speaker of the Queen’s English, or is it King’s English now, I can assure you that some areas use a very loose approximation of ‘English’.

It's safe to say he probably doesn't speak French or Spanish, hence the few sightings in Quebec and Mexico.

He sure gets around! Or there are many more of them than ever dreamed of. I think more Big Foot hunting teams are needed - STAT! As a Californian, I'm a bit concerned about this.

When you rest the cursor over this map it discusses gun law restrictions by state.

Thank the gods my state bans it. Monkeys are interesting, but I hate them outside their natural habitat. Permanent, destructive toddlers.

It's concerning there's not an outright ban in every state! My Country is more F'd up than I thought. :(

Mmm... If Queen Victoria is the one for Great Britain, she should cover Ireland too (sorry, just history). If Ireland gets a separate listing, surely Wales and Scotland should too? (and England).

Umm, is that Joan d'Arc as a *cartoon*? 🤷🏻♀️ You'd have thought maybe Napoleon or De Gaulle or something...

This is a French joke/joke for French people. She’s from a famous and well loved cartoon, probably the leader of the group of characters. Maybe like if Leonardo (the ninja turtle) was shown for the USA.

The only way to make any sense of this would be to assume that the cities mentioned are those most visited by the population of the countries they;re pinned to. Then ignore the rankings or whatever the number prefix are supposed to be.

Yeah, this map is a f****n’ mess. Where are the people going to London coming from? Wales? There aren’t 20m people there.

So London has moved to Gloucestershire. I thought it was getting a bit crowded.

I think more important questions are is Rome apparently in France? Or maybe Spain? And Paris occupying the entire island of Ireland? Then we get on to the famous North African cities of Barcelona and Milan... 🤣
