The Washington Square News, NYU’s student paper, reports on efforts to improve navigation guides for tourists in New York’s Little Italy and Chinatown, who apparently are getting themselves lost with current guides. Apparently many kiosk maps are “upside down” — which I think means that “up” points away from the direction the person reading the map is facing.
The Map Room is a blog about maps by Jonathan Crowe. It covers everything from collecting to the latest in geospatial technology from a generalist’s perspective.
The Map Room ran from March 2003 to June 2010 and is presently inactive.
