Now this is a map! This is just superb cartography: detailed, clear and lovely to look at. I love the way that brown is used for mountainous features, and a light blue is used for water features – it allows this information to be visible, but it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t compete with the overlaid railroad lines. The map is packed with other information as well – note the three rail gauges in use in Argentina at the […]
Submitted by Maximiliano, who says: It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been a few years since the last time you checked out what was happening in Santiago de Chile [I last reviewed the 168澳洲十开奖网 in 2017 – Cam]. Well, times haven🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t been too kind to us down here, but I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t want to go into details about 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划current and future “troubles”. They🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re too complicated, so anyways… We have a new map for the Metro de Santiago network. And […]
Jose sent me a link to this still-evolving project via Twitter the other day, and his post on Medium about it is well worth reading, even through the filter of Google Translate. He🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s got a lot of great ideas, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s always fun seeing how other people approach codifying their design principles for a map. What really caught my eye was this GIF showing the evolution of Jose🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s map, all the way from the initial […]
Submitted by Laura, who says: I have a love-hate relationship with Santiago’s Metro map. The current one excludes very useful information (particularly important for migrants and tourists) such as the existence of private buses to the Airport, or the commuter rail service to Nos (run by another company) that’s been working for more than a year now. It works just as well as the Metro using the same card and price, but for some reason […]
Submitted by moon-monolith, who says: This is the current map (as of May ‘17). This version has the definitive design for the newer lines under construction (Line 3 and Line 6). And finally, they’ve decided not to include the airport on the map, even tho’ there’s some rumors floating around that a planned extension of Line 1 or a new “Line 7” could reach it once and for all. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: This is a […]
A lovely celebratory poster for the Metro’s opening year, showing the overall envisioned network at the time. Only a short section of the red Linea 1 was actually open initially – as can be seen running across the poster about a third of the way down – and the eventual system as built today is substantially different to this vision (March 2014, 3.5 stars). Of particular interest are the black diamonds dotted liberally around the […]
🔸澳洲开奖 moon-monolith sent me the new Santiago Metro map that I featured yesterday, he also sent me this fascinating old map from 1975: the year that the Metro 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划opened. The map itself probably redefines the term “basic” 🔸澳洲开奖 it comes to 澳洲10开官网开奖, with some very coarse route lines and type-written station names. However, I’m more interested in the map as a very early look at the current system. At 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance, it looks like the map […]
Here’s a new map for Santiago’s extensive Metro system. I reviewed the previous one back in March of 2012, giving it a pretty generous 3 stars. In a way, this is really an evolution of the previous map, rather than a complete redesign – the routes still sit on top of a stylised street grid of the city, for example – but the execution is much more polished and stylish. The whole city has been […]
Here’s another example of a metro map overlaid on a city’s street grid – this time from Santiago, Chile. This system has some marvellous innovations, with a bike sharing program (BiciMetro) and libraries (BiblioMetro) integrated at many stations, but the map somewhat fails to live up to those modern, forward-thinking ideas. Have we been there? No. What we like: Clean layout, with large easy-to-read (if not particularly stylish) text. The roads are given the right […]
