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
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...
