Latest Map Men - a tale of many miles. A particularly fun (and hard) one to make, with the huge help of @ornsack.bsky.social. @jayforeman.bsky.social also played a part. youtu.be/3mQKM8tE8-E

By popular demand, here is my debut map, made with blood, sweat and tears, when I should have been looking for my missing father, apparently. From the latest Map Men episode - about Twin Towns... By all means have a play but feel free not to point out the mistakes. bit.ly/3K3jq6V

Twin Towns... Why? New Map Men, in which I made my first ever map youtu.be/zte_vg0D8Z4?...

Hugely unsatisfying, but I've only just realised you can't get beyond 85 degrees +/- the equator on Google maps app. So much sad, lonely, left off latitude...
