    Love how according to the map there are absolutely no bribery in the USA at all yet there is in almost every other country on the planet. I don’t even think I’d believe it if there was just less!

    Driving map is wrongly attributed. Please correct!
    India is a right hand drive and US is left hand drive.

    Street View is available in East Malaysia so that map is wrong.

    The world upside down map looks like a duck is f@#*ing a chicken.
    The rest of the maps are amazing. Puts a new perspective on things.

    Take all the maps of just the USA out and leave all the world maps.
    Now that would be wonderful.

    Some great maps here, apart from one….

    No. 2. “Apparently even Britain itself doesn’t use them”

    The British use Imperial and Metric side by side in numerous things – pints used for beer, cider and bitter, gallons still in use for petrol alongside litres, road transport and speed is measured in miles (mph), inches and feet are still commonly used for height, weights of products are labelled with both on most food items, yards is the most common measurement when talking about playing fields in sports and acres in commercial properties and stones and ounces are regularly used to weigh a person.

    So this is pretty much wrong and an urban myth.

      Well you shouldn’t be proud of using miles, I’m from the USA and I wish we didn’t. Simply makes sense to go with the standard of meters etc. What’s up with 12 inches in one foot?? (I know you never said you were proud of it but assuming so XD)

    Excellent teaching for adults as well as kids. Maps can boost education in many countries. We need more maps like yours. And with easy access. English is oK. Do not abuse in adds though.
