IMHO, geographic accuracy is an all-or-nothing feature of a network diagram. If it doesn't help you decide between walking or riding, then it should optimise for riding. This map lacks Beck's clean, diagrammatic style without really adding much, in fact, unless you look very carefully, it seems not to include the fact that Mornington Crescent is on the Charing Cross Branch. Beck's map works because it completely ignores the world above ground, and allows you to navigate the system at a glance. That said, I have seen one advantage to this map. Platform Compass directions. For example: Stations on the Piccadilly Line, from Turnpike Lane to Cockfosters have East- and Westbound platforms. This doesn't make sense when read in conjunction with Beck's map, which draws that as a vertical line, which most people would interpret as North/South. On this map, you can easily see that East means towards, and West, away from Central London.
