Back in France for the Holidays, I spotted this little cheese board at Leclerc

Tom MacWright posted this map nerd challenge on BlueSky

I am biased; I like Malbec. Here is one shared by Jose.

A BrilliantMaps share, the other states are visible at

Another BrilliantMaps share, this is definitely dethroning our previous largest map.

Should I keep this for April Fool's Day? Nah, a good laugh is always welcome whenever it comes! Thanks Brilliant Maps for sharing.

"dvdmcc" shared this detail from a hoodie.

Sallie "bumbling about town 🐝🍉" on BlueSky shared this cross-stitch project in progress.

We all enjoy a nice cup of tea with family or friends over Christmas, Walter Schwartz spotted this mappy teapot on his travels. "This little teapot, short and stout, was in the Two English Ladies Tea Shoppe, a booth at the San Francisco Dickens Fair. It says “Cardew’s London Maps” on the bottom and may have originally been for sale in 1992. 

In the Christmas market at Covent Garden, London, I spotted this map seller. Unfortunately there was no time to peruse and purchase.

Reinder spotted this plate decorated with a map of Sicily at the Waterlooplein in Amsterdam, the daily flea market.

Click on the image above to view the map Anyone who knows me knows that two of my top passions are maps and football, more specifically The Arsenal. Fans are always debating the historic achievements of their clubs (in some cases going back 40 years or more to find success), so I thought I would use a map canvas as a backdrop to an interactive dashboard to explore the connections between finances and success.

Alex shared this pic, with apologies for the quality. I'm left wondering "What! Why?"

Another mappy truck, this time spotted by Ken Field somewhere in the US.

Rollo spotted this jigsaw of John Speeds county maps in a charity shop. For reasons that I can't understand he didn't buy it.

Reinder spotted this in the in the public library in The Hague " on the floor there is a map - not surprisingly - of the city of The Hague, the Netherlands. Been here many times, but never saw this before. "

Melinda Clarke, the creator of the Melbourne Map has branched out with a range of beautiful silk scarves with some very stylish map designs including, of course, The Melbourne Map. n this pic my pal Denise McKenzie is wearing Melbourne at the GeoBusiness conference. Here's Melinda with her vintage New York scarf And here she is with the Melbourne map You can order the scarves from her site at a beautiful gift for a map lover.

Click on image above to view the map Do the levels of deaths from mass shootings in the US correlate with the gun policies of individual states? I thought this might be an interesting topic to explore in my journey of mapping with AI, you can draw a conclusion from the screenshot above or wait until you get to the end of this post for my thoughts.

This is not the opening screen of some Esri software, it's the in-flight mapping system on Ken's last flight to the UK

I started out trying to make web maps with WebMapperGPT and then Google Gemini to scratch an itch after my pal Ken Field said he was going to make a map a day in 2026. I thought I would give it a try and as some of the previous posts in this thread have shown I have been able to make some reasonable web maps with quite nice design and interaction (IMHO).

Marc Tobias spotted this old school map in Ed Frefogles home. It's pretty nig!

"World of communication’, in Rome, in the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art. It dates from 1972 and is made by Jiří Kolář. " I htink the collage on the globe is made with postage stamps.

Reinder spotted these mappy suitcases in a hotel window in Rome. He was so taken with them that he didn't mention the nice looking globe, while his wife apparently was more impressed by the towels folded as swans. Go figure! If only those cases were a bit bigger and had wheels.
