As an Australian , as far as I know there is just a long white cloud over endless ocean over that spot there. Satellite imagery proves it. 🤷‍♂️

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aotearoa

Aotearoa (Māori: [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is the Māori-language name for New Zealand. The name was originally used by Māori in reference only to the North Island, with the whole country being referred to as Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu (North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu)). In the pre-European era, Māori did not have a collective name for the two islands.

Several meanings for Aotearoa have been proposed; the most popular translation usually given is “land of the long white cloud”, or variations thereof. This refers to the cloud formations which helped early Polynesian navigators find the country.

As an Aussie I don’t think Tasmania should’ve been coloured in green here.

(P.S. I love Tasmania this is just a joke)

As an Aussie I don’t think Tasmania should be on the map at all.

Not infinitely. But we are buoyant enough for walking on it.

Cartography Anarchy

!cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee

Create post

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.
