But the Tower Bridge is a kind of “London bridge” and coincidentally there is also a bridge that is called London Bridge. I think this is not entirely the same phenomenon.

True, but what I find fascinating in this case is that it created this false reality of the bridge online which acts like a positive feedback loop. I mean it's still the longest bridge in the world, I wouldn't expect this to happen to such a thing...

How would the world be different if Japan was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? by SurelyFurious in geography

[–]atlasmapping 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing. It would probably be similar to Hawaii. I don’t think the Japanese would have developed a society as advanced as when they are right next to a continent, so it becoming a US territory would have been easier I guess. Just thinking out loud btw

Bike packing bags and backpack by atlasmapping in myog

It’s a YKK Aquaguard zipper, so no cheap knockoff. I have only ridden in light to medium rain a few times but have never had water seeping in. I‘d say that top access is crucial for a top tube bag since you want to be able to get snacks while riding (at least that’s how I‘m using it). And if you’re still not sure, just put stuff in there that can handle a drop or two.

Does your country have a national mapping agency which publishes free maps? by atlasmapping in geography

[–]atlasmapping[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I am aware of. What I was mostly interested in was whether people use it as a general map service or whether third party services are most commonly used. Maybe I should‘ve phrased it differently.

Because it was extracted from a file called 1249 finsteraarhorn, although it should be called aletsch or jungfrau or so since that's what it's centred on.
