    Stop sending me on a no-crossing, private gravel road to make me save 30 seconds on a two-hour car trip, for fuck’s sake.

  6. Dear mapping app shitheads,

    When I’m asking for directions between two places, I don’t want:

    – The shortest route;
    – The quickest route;
    – The route with the fewest turns.

    I want THE NORMAL ROUTE!

    – The route that the people who live there take when they’re not taking a secret shortcut;
    – The route the local government intended people to take when they planned the streets;
    – The route that the fucking road signs indicate.

  11. Kartendienst MapQuest enorm beliebt durch Beibehaltung des Namens Ontariosee

    MapQuest verweigert die Umbenennung von Ontariosee zu Amerikasee. Daraufhin stürmt der 30 Jahre alte Kartendienst die App-Ranglisten in den USA und Kanada.

    “Whether you're a curious beginner or just want to sharpen your spatial smarts, this session is perfect for becoming a more informed citizen. Dive into the world of maps and learn tips and tricks to navigate and understand any map like a pro. Don't miss out on this fun, interactive online experience!
    Maps are a form of language that needs to be learned to be understood.
    Everyone says ‘oh, I have GPS in my car or on my phone…’ But GPS is really just a mathematical monkey trick to send your approximate location from satellites to display on a map of the world. Without the map, GPS has limited value.
    Maps, as much as any form of media, contain a wealth of data, information, and knowledge about the world that we inhabit. But to decode that information, we need map intelligence.
    Map intelligence is the ability of a map user to decode the information about the world that the map maker (cartographer) is trying to convey to us.
    Why is this important? We encounter maps almost every day. From the ubiquitous daily weather map of our region, to maps we find in our history or current affairs books, maps that tell us where to vote and who we can vote for, maps presented by developers, or policy advocates to our elected officials, maps are important for our lives. Studies show that 50% of all local government employees use maps in some form for their work.
    This free, 75-minute online workshop introduces the basic knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to interpret the maps that you encounter in your life.’’

  14. A quotation from Doctor Who

       SARAH JANE: What’s gone wrong this time?
       THE DOCTOR: Nothing. Nothing at all. What makes you think something’s gone wrong?
       SARAH JANE: Because you always get rude when you’re trying to cover up a mistake.
       THE DOCTOR: Nothing of consequence. Slight overshoot, easily rectified.
       SARAH JANE: Come on, where are we?
       THE DOCTOR: We’ve come out of the time vortex at the wrong point, that’s all. A few years too late.
       SARAH JANE: How many?
       THE DOCTOR: Thirty thousand.

    Doctor Who (1963-1989) British science fiction television series, original run (BBC)
    13×02 “Planet of Evil,” Part 1 (1975-09-27) [w. Louis Marks]
