Ackchually, that is a map of density of the United Kingdom. Nowhere on this map does it show the density of maps found in the UK. :P

Well, map density is probably about the same as population density anyway.

It's not, though:

Pop. Density = Persons / km²

Map Density = Maps / km²

They get a little closer to each other if you count phone-based maps, but with the existence of physical maps, they will almost always be different.

Visibly different on a map this size?

[-] MewtwoLikesMemes@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

If it was this zoomed out? I doubt it. I'm just sayin'. :P

^United Kingdom^

I think there's an echo in here

Guessing that's Hyde Park which is a less dense green in the middle of London!

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 6 months ago

In the centre, Hyde park and St. James park I expect.

In the south west, Richmond Park + Bushy Park + Old Deer Park + Kew gardens all in close proximity to each other.

They seem to have a lot of maps around London! Must be those tourist maps that they give away for free to tourists.

Funny that some areas dont seem to have maps at all though!
