Why rotate?
Annelise,
A very handy reference to have, but I don't see the benefit from rotating the map. That makes it 180 degrees different from every other map we use. I have to make a mental rotation back again each time I look at it, so I can work out where the numbered building is on those maps.
Any strong reasons to rotate the map?
Regards, David
Compare to photos from Harbour
It is just a personal preference.
For me "up" (the top of the map) should be the Peak. I find it more comfortable looking at things that way, because that is the way I always perceived the lay of the land as a child.
re: Compare to photos from Harbour
Aha, that makes sense - whereas I usually turn to maps first.
Thanks for the explanation.
