Another map from Dave Lovell. This is the logo for the D-Day Story Museum. It may take you a minute to work it out. … the logo, which I have to confess I didn’t immediately recognise as containing a map. A very clever design I think and probably one of […]

Paul Hardy sent us this map of Norfolk (UK) “If you are short of maps in the wild, here’s one from my last weekend visit to the north coast of Norfolk (UK, not US). This was in the Ship Inn at Brancaster at 52.963N, 0.638E – head North from there, […]
Lauren Tierney must have had a maptastic vacation as she also sent us this relief map from Muir Beach Lookout in California, just north of SF.
Not really a Map in the Wild but this cartoon sums up the sorry state of Britain (no longer Great IMHO) in 2019. This was shared with me by my pal Erik Meerburg. I scheduled this to post on Brexit Day, who knows what will have happened by then.
Dave Lovell, who is competing for the Maps in the Wild Contributor of the Year Award, sent us this map on a t-shirt from the D-Day Story museum (more to follow). The ‘Bogus’ map being really ‘on the wild side’, names have been switched and it’s got the highest security […]
John Nelson shared this beer can which he kindly unrolled for us “There’s a #mapsinthewild hidden under the label of this @snakeriverbrew Paco’s IPA can.”
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
Thomas Gratier shared this map of Brit Craft Breweries who are guesting somewhere on the Southbank. I’m tempted by a Liquid Light
A bit of Becksploitation from Lego with this European schematic diagram. Not sure how it works but hey ho 🙂 Sent to us by Jeremy Wright
Caitlin Dempsey sent us this rubbery globe “Mickey recognizes New Zealand” Which prompted a couple of carto-purist responses “Where is Bali and Lombok?” “How about Java…? Indonesia is reduced to only 3 islands?” You just can’t please some people
Rose sent us this cow shaped map “found this map in the shape of a cow, in a tunnel in Budva, Montenegro #mapsinthewild #happymapping “
This is a beautiful relief map “Tough to beat a to scale relief map as you look at the real thing. Wish I was better able to capture the background. I’ll get better.”
Clare Nolan sent us this map of the Eden Rivers. This map is in the car park outside Sainsburys in Penrith “The circles are places, squarish ones are castles, triangles are hills/fells. If you zoom in you can just about see the corresponding numbers on the names at bottom. I reckon […]
