[edit] Useless Maps
<rant>
Why are maps like these (example of typical map, right) appearing all over the place?
They show a vague aproximation of an area*, but, seemingly, every river for miles around. So you can compare the location of a place in Britain with the mouth of the Rhine. How useful!
And they take up over 300Kb each. I've seen these maps in articles about two places a stone's throw away from each other; the placement of the 'dot' differs by about a pixel...
*N.b. size of dot in example is merely demonstrative of the general principle.
