Instead of a static image with a few stations on it, I would have expected Google to provide a map of all the 100 stations they are talking about. It's silly that the most important bit of info has been left out.
- helloworld 10y agoIt's odd, too, that the map's shades-of-blue color scheme makes the land look like water: https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/100_stations.width-792.png https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/ima... That map would be easier to parse, I think, if the water areas were the dark-blue shade, and the land areas were the light blue. (I guess I just realized that I have an implicit visual grammar of maps. I'm not sure whether it's universal.)
- notatoad 10y agoSomebody at Google must be a fan of Arrested Development. That's a classic Buster Bluth joke: "oh! The blue on this map must be land!"
