Lauren Tierney sent us this neat map of Chinatown, San Francisco which is set into the pavement which she spotted on vacation.
Marc Tobias Metten shared this globe which is on display in Schipol Airport. I think the pins represent destinations that you can fly to from Schipol. I like the use of physical Google Maps pins

Andrew Newman drew my attention to the map themed cakes at the High Storrs school bake but he didn’t have any pics! Fortunately he put me in touch with the school and they sent some pics and the head of geography provided some extra context. “The students are invited to […]
