    Skipped over most but the blonde map of Europe is interesting, and I liked the Pangea Ulitma map showing the landmasses clustered together in one continent in 250M years time, what is particularly interesting is that both Ireland and Great Britain 'obstinately refuse to merge – both with each other and with the continent'.

    There's a strong American bias, but there are some good ones here: https://www.kueez.com/en/show-really-world-maps?ly=native_one

    Only looked at a few of the maps so far but Interesting. as you say very american biased. 

    as an addick fascinating to see how many railway lines there are in the US that don't actually get used. 

    I know we pretty much use the metric system but i wonder how many countries like us do use both (imperial and metric) in our daily life?

    When I saw the topic I thought the thread was going to be about a new Indy band...

    A bit close to Swell Maps perhaps.

    I am a great fan of Google Maps and the way they can be used to perform the most wierd an unimaginable tasks.  The definitive website was googlemapsmania.  I have lost track over recent years and it appears to have expanded to include all sorts of maps and is now entitled just Maps Mania.  It still seems to be going strong.  Take a look here.  https://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/?m=1

    The guy on Sky said today that google maps showed these blocks ever increasing as the Wagner group marched on Moscow.  Can't say I really understand what they represent.

    I was confused that they were going to Moscow up the M4. I thought that stopped just before Carmarthen.
