Erik Meerburg shared this pic of these Street Food boxes which would be a great promotional idea for the folk at MapBox

Cartonaut shared the UN logo (which includes a world map) on the floor at the UN Plaza in San Francisco
Another example of the fun map making efforts of Coldfall Primary school. The map shows the 5 minute and 10 minute walking areas around the school and seeks to encourage parents to walk their children to school.
Abigail shared this Ordnance Survey Rubik’s Cube which I think must be something of a collector’s piece – HINT HINT OS if you are reading!
Cartonaut spotted this map in the San Francisco ferry building. I can’t imagine why it is there but what the heck?
Cartonaut shared this stunning map quilt. Edie Punt suggested that it might have come from Haptic Lab who offer an impressive range of quilted maps.
This is some ceiling at Monty’s, a bar in Edinburgh. Thanks to Tom Armitage for pointing out this gem.
Caroline Robinson shared this pic from her local pub in Falmouth. Someone has covered the mirrors outside of the toilets with maps, and “why not?” I say!
Alice Gadney sent me this pic of her stunning map skirt (I hope she didn’t wear it while rowing!). She has promised to show up at a future GeoMob event wearing it.
Jon Morris shared this pic of what must be one of the most pointless maps that I have seen in a long time. “Tebay services letting us know where they are. “ I am sure that several of our readers could help Tebay Services to improve on this map.
Jorge Sanz shared this stylish gin bottle. He thinks it outguns the Spanish wine bottle that Michael Gould shared recently. I think he is right.
Harry Wood shared this pic of his son’s early cartographic efforts. “Just now he declared he was going to draw a map! It’s challenging my preconceived ideas about the importance of geographic accuracy.” It’s a wild map even if it isn’t a map in the wild.
I like the way some primary schools get young kids interested in geography. This plan of Coldfall School was produced by the pupils.
