When you think about it, all maps are lying to you about something, but believe it or not, it's actually so that they can be more truthful about what they're showing!

There is a much more important reason why all Mercator projections are truncated. In order to make a complete projection of the globe using a Mercator projection you will need a sheet of finite width but infinite height. That is because the scale is locally correct so at the poles, a distance of 0 (going around the pole in a circle) needs to be the full width of the map, requiring the height to likewise be blown up.

When i was in Berlin i felt so frustrated because of not understanding how to get from one place to another looking at the S and U Bahn maps. I just went downstairs and tried to go from the station. Was i really angry when i realize that from one station you can get to dozens of destinations. I went too far away from where i should have gone. I live in Moscow, Russia and here all the stations is just for one line and one destination on each side of the line (only few exceptions included)

@KhAnubis
@KhAnubis 6 жыл бұрын
Looking at maps, it seems the wall itself would do its best to cross the river at the edge of preexisting bridges, but the waters of the Spree mainly belonged to the DDR, and there are many stories of children falling in the river, and drowning, since no one was allowed to go in and save them.

Actually Google Maps uses the web mercator projection which is like the mercator except it treats the earth as _perfectly_ spherical so web mercator loses the conformal property where straight lines aren't rhumb lines. It helps Google Maps load faster and since it's only used for navigation on phones it's fine and doesn't see actual navigational use.

Thanks for the call-out of Portland's maps! As a teen, the bus route map they put out every year was the *BEST* "walking map" of Portland. It was full-scale, a huge fold-out map, it was updated every year, and it was dirt cheap ($1.99.) I do love the graphic design of the new (not-useful-for-walking) MAX map, though. Also, your "accurate" view map is *ANCIENT*. All three of the "in planning" lines are fully complete. And there's a just-approved-this-week new "in planning" line (that will finally run one near enough to my house to be useful - although it won't be finished until at least 2027...)
@KhAnubis
@KhAnubis 6 жыл бұрын
At first, the MAX maps kind of confused me, especially with how the lines kind of split downtown. I remember being confused when I learned how short the distance from Lloyd Center to NE 7th really was. Also, yeah, that was an old map, but all I really needed for that part was something that gives the general idea. But yeah, for those of you not from Portland, that map is severely outdated, and many of the "planned" lines are either cancelled, or complete.
@AnonymousFreakYT
@AnonymousFreakYT 6 жыл бұрын
Portland's MAX map is probably one of the best/worst "not geographically accurate" transit system maps out there, just because there are stops that are 400 feet apart (any pair of stops downtown, two blocks apart) and stops that are multiple miles apart (Oregon Zoo to Sunset Transit Center.) And yet, on the map, they are the same distance. Also, the light green "South Waterfront" streetcar appears to go almost as far South as the Orange line and the (in black) WES service, and as far south as the Green line. In reality, the Orange and Green lines go much further South, and the (in black) WES service goes *SIGNIFICANTLY* further South. (About twice the distance of the Orange and Green lines.) In real life, that "South Waterfront" loop's Southernmost point is about even with the WES line's *NORTHERNMOST* point. (It's actually slightly further North.)

Again, though, it's just for making sure people understand how the transit system works, and not for anything else.

I'm often amused by videos that state that the only really good map is a globe, and pan over to a globe sitting next to them. The irony is that by converting the 3D object into a flat-screen depiction they've created their own, not very good for anything, flat map.

KhAnubis I just tried to jokingly (but perhaps not very clearly) point out that, at least to the viewers, this collaboration seems to only involve briefly appearing once in the others video to promote themselves. I'm sure you might have collaborated more than that behind the scenes. And I don't actually mind, I'm fully aware that collabs are primarily a form of mutual promotion and it doesn't really matter to anyone how blatant it is, as long as it's mutually a genuine endorsement of some other channels the other like. Because then it's also a great way for the users to discover new channels, like how I now found yours. I found it sort of amusing how minimal the guest appearances were, that's all. (Sorry, today I'm apparently either posting short incomprehensible comments, or WAY too long, and detailed ones. )
