DO you get the same thrill from paper maps that you do from electronic ones? It could be you are addicted to the screen time more than the data itself.....
Oh! I'm really astonished. I wouldn't expect my thread what I mentioned about maps.. Actually that's not a problem looking at maps or using maps and designing maps, amateurishly.. It's an intellectual activity so I think.. You know that most of people have no essential knowledge about the geography of world or about their countries. weird! Anyway guys thanks a lot for your comments and advises.
Hello guys I love maps so much and constantly,I keep looking at maps on internet. I'm not a geographer or survey engineer. One of my favorite web sites is google maps what a pity I tried to stop that but I couldn't achieve.. I think that is a psycological issue anymore. Do you think of looking at maps too much is an addiction? Like smoking or extremely watching porn. I'm waiting for your criticizm about my strange problem
thanks.
Are you getting in trouble at work or with your spouse, or letting homework slide because of it?
I collect antique atlases and geography books, so I am familiar with the allure of maps.
When I was a kid we often spent a few weeks at my aunt's cabin in eastern Norway. Since days were totally unstructured, I would take out the map of the area which had a multitude of dirt logging roads, foot paths, goat trail, hills, ridges, and little lakes. I would transcribe my own maps on how to get to a particular lake or hilltop and then spend the rest of the day navigating towards my goal on my own copy. My uncle thought I was weird to not just take the map.
I also really got into orienteering in my late childhood/early teen years as there was a pretty active orienteering scene in New York at that time. Now with GPS phones I fear that hobby has shrunk quite a bit. I always liked the challenge of map and compass, though.
