]]> Comment on North Is Not Always Pointing Up – Orientation of Train Station Maps in Japan by Calvin C http://www.calvin-c.com/blog/japan-map/comment-page-1/#comment-1428 Calvin C Sat, 06 Aug 2011 03:06:48 +0000 http://www.calvin-c.com/?p=1485#comment-1428 Thanks for your comment Yuting. At first it was a bit uncomfortable for me to read such maps, but now I'm very used to reading it. I agree that it does take away much mental burdens to rotate the map inside your head, therefore has a lower learning curve then the "North-is-up" version. In terms of the mass production issue, it is a non-issue now since digital printing is extremely cheap. I did, however, still see some hand-drawn maps in some old, local neighborhoods. Well it's just some rare exceptions. By the way I also saw such maps in Hong Kong. So I think it's nothing new now :-) Thanks for your comment Yuting.

I was frustrated at first but then realised it's actually a better system. I think it's better to point that out to the tourists (books/ leaflets) rather than changing it. The problem you mentioned with mass-producing the same map is not really that serious -- most maps in public places are different anyway, depending on where they are placed.
