Maps Distort How We See the World

This isn’t my logic, it’s the logic of the map designers.

It’s not important where they are made. It’s important where they are designed.

I expect there’s lots of maps with Asia in the center, but I don’t expect people in the US to buy them.

First you said the center is decided by who made the maps.

Then you changed it to who designed the maps.

In your last sentence you implied that the buyers make the decision.

Make up your mind?
