Maps in the Wild

Brilliant from Cat Salad on Masto

I found this at the railway station in Hamburg, Germany.

I found it in a specialized football merch shop in Cambridge, this time with a map.

I found it in a souvenir shop in Tromso. The Artic cathedral qualified as a Map in the Wild by half its coordinates.

One can find almost everything at Camden Market.

Found at an art dealer shop in Cambridge. The author seems to be a well-known London Artist: Dave Buonaguidi.

Someone (?) shared this cute little car with contour lines spotted in Lucca via Ken

Ken sent me this. I can see why it is a map in the wild but I didn’t know what it was meant to be saying. A bit of searching suggests that it is related to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: “A 1994 Australian roadcomedy film written […]

The simple answer is to find a resaurant that has menus in English as well as Japanese, it’s useful to also know that you are in the right place! Another one from Ken
