Spotted at the launch of Ken’s book at Stanfords. David Overton, the founder of SplashMaps, loves a bit of Mappy clothing as much as Ken does. This is a great waistcoat with an OS 1:50k map on the back. Look at the buttons

It seems that it it isn’t just Mappery followers who love the combination of beer and maps. This Topographical IPA came from Chris Thiry via Reinder Storm. Chris is Map & GIS Librarian at Colorado School of Mines, apparently there is a mailing list of map curators and librarians who […]

The final one of Reinder’s Bells Brewery series of maps beer labels

Marc-Tobias spotted this neat wall map on a cycling trip in Safed, northern Israel

Marc-Tobias spotted these runners insoles. “Saw in a sports store last week. Apparently their hiking insoles have elevation maps, toohttps://currex.us/products/runprohttps://currex.us/products/hikepro Same prints on all colours and right foot map overlaps with leftfoot map.“

There are a lot of globes at Stanfords

David Moed sent me this pic of a 3D model of the Great Lakes at the Ontario Science Centre

Another Bells Brewery beer label via our friend and supporter Reinder Storm

Tom Harrison sent us this. “I spotted this on a car parked near Llanberis. Apparently it was bought second hand from an estate agent. The new owner removed all the company livery but kept the map of their local area.” Good spot Tom and respect to the owner

My pal Barend Kobben was staying at the Intercity Hotel in Budapest and look what was on the wall.
