Where’s My Coffee
One of particular interst to Melbourne readers.
Hudsons Coffee have a rather unique view of Melbourne on their Store Locator page. I’ve never seen a map for this city laid out this way before and it’s very interesting.
The only suggestion I have is that they gave prominence to the wrong end. Most of the store are located around centre of the CBD, Swanston St and surrounds. The largest area on their graphic is also the emptiest (there are only four outlets west of Queen St compared with nine East of the same street) and you have to squint to figure out where most of the far stores are. They should have reversed the map so the Spring St end was in the foreground or, preferably, set Swantson St as the centre and maybe fish eyed the city.

I wonder who thought that would be a good idea. Bleagh, the Adelaide one is even worse.

Looks terrible. What’s wrong with a traditional map?
