#30DayMapChallenge 2024

The #30DayMapChallenge is a daily social mapping project that happens every November.

The idea is to publish a map every day in November exploring different themes, designs, techniques and subjects. Over the next 30 days Apogee will share some new maps using MapInfo and some older maps that look back on projects that still bring me joy today. Maps aren't just about the "where" anymore they can be about the "what", "who" and the "when" as well - and possibly all of these things at once. Maps can be pieces of art, they can be informative, they can be practical, a single map isn't necessarily the same thing to all of us. So join Apogee on this journey through November and let us know what you think of our maps.

Day 02: Lines

An alternative London Underground map creates in 2002 as part of my MSc at UCL. The map balanced the actual geographical location of the stations against their locations on the original tube map designed by Harry Beck in 1933. The map shown here used a bidimensional regression technique that aimed to find the “best-fit” when mapping from the Beck map to the real-world locations of the stations.
