It's definitely a good idea to keep your basic map reading skills up, and not just for mountain hikes. I've received plenty of bullshit directions from Google in cities, which I've been able to work around.

"In an attempt to grasp and reckon with the historical moment that he was living in, #CharlesJencks, the legendary father of #postmodernism, developed Evolutionary Tree drawings. These #drawings, which are somewhere between a #diagram and a #map, laid out six ideologies that allowed him to categorize all the “-isms” of present, past, and future architectural culture.
"The exhibition #Chronograms of #Architecture showcases Jencks’ key diagrams, spanning from 1920 to 2000, along with eight newly commissioned diagrams by 8 teams of contemporary architects, researchers and graphic designers, reflecting on the historical moment that we live in today."

It's a Montana Monday, and nothing gives me more trust issues than AI and its nonsense. This "Living in Montana" Facebook talks about Route 50 going through Montana (it goes through NV, UT & CO among many others). I labeled those cities where they ACTUALLY belong, too.

I love #maps. I bet you do, too!

Google Maps has decided I live in a town about 16km from my house. I did nothing to change this, and it's been defaulting to my actual house for the four years I've lived here.

Apple Maps on my phone doesn't list as many local businesses.

Does OpenStreetMap know about local businesses/restaurants? Is there a good "I just need to search a map" front-end?

Los insurgentes que se fortificaron en una isla en el Lago de Chapala resistieron ataques españoles entre 1812 y 1816. Lograron así gastar un montón de recursos virreinales, como el desarollo de un bello plano del lago que incluyó esta vista de lado. Se apuntan un quartel de armas, dos iglesias y la “Falua _Teresa_, prisionera.” La isla tiene 65 varas castellanas [54m] de altura.

Many people consider Taiwan's position in the world only in relation to China. However, it is also close to Japan and The Philippines

Taiwan's geographical position can be better as understood the maritime crossroads of the West Pacific or a bridge between Northeast and Southeast Asia
