A Circular New York City Subway Map To Straighten Things Out

Posted by timothy on from the now-go-help-charlie-get-off-the-mta dept.

Daniel_Stuckey writes "The U.K.'s Max Roberts, a mapmaker and critic, has created a map that sees this problem and then solves it by adopting a similar distortion strategy to the MTA map, but to a far greater degree. The map heads in the direction of a diagram and away from a map representing features. It may be the most lucid reinterpretation of the New York City subway map I've seen yet."

    I mean, seriously! Tim Cook should know that one size cannot fit all. It's for that very reason that I, for example, never liked and probably will never be impressed by Apple's "tiny" phones.

    Their walled garden doesn't help matters either. Result? I do other things whenever they launch another product. And I'm not alone.
