Used to be there were big world maps hanging in classrooms for students to refer to.

Oh, wait. Never mind.

Yeah, but the projection used in those maps is racist or hemispherist or something because it emphasizes polar regions vs. equatorial ones and the Northern Hemisphere has more land close to the pole than the Southern Hemisphere. Who knew placement of land mass could be waycisssss? Out with the maps!

I talked to someone that works for Garmin (the GPS people). He said they get their maps from another company and spend a lot of effort cleaning them up.
