Here & There — a horizonless projection in Manhattan
- chaosmachine 17y agoThis map would be good for finding things very close, or very far away, but the area in the middle is not well represented.

- cschneid 17y agoI really like this map projection. But I'm having a hard time finding a real life use case for it. It's not very good at local items, so a walking mall situation (over a few blocks) doesn't work very well. The projection is inherently fixed to a point in physical space (ie, it's not very good printed and carried around, and relies on a certain orientation). Does anybody have a good use case for this map projection?
- jacobbijani 17y agobeing able to better appreciate how monumental manhattan is? seriously. look at it. humans built that.
- snprbob86 17y agoThis makes me dizzy... and I'm not really sure what the use case is.
- duskwuff 17y agoI believe the use case is "looking nice on the wall". :)
