What's Across The Ocean?


Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 duad of years agone Eric Odenheimer made a really pop static map which was reported every bit showing you lot what province you lot would run across if you lot stood on the beach anywhere inward North, South or Central America too could run across all the agency across the ocean.

What Odenheimer's map truly shows you lot is the province across the body of body of water which is on an equivalent latitude. Andy Woodruff was inspired past times Odenheimer's map to utilisation a serial of static maps which truly demo you lot what is truly across the body of body of water if you lot await perpendicular to the coast.

In Beyond the Sea Andy takes into trouble organisation human relationship that the coastline truly bends too turns too faces inward lots of unlike directions too that the basis is round. Therefore what province is across the body of body of water perpendicular to the coast depends on where you lot are standing on this twisting coastline. Andy's explanation nearly the maps goes into a lot to a greater extent than item nearly how he calculated these keen circle lines for unlike points from the world's coastlines.


Esri UK was inward plough inspired past times Andy Woodruff's maps to utilisation an interactive map of Coastal Views from the United Kingdom. Esri's map draws lines from unlike points along the UK coast showing which province lies across the body of body of water if you lot await perpendicular to the coastline.

The payoff of using an interactive map is that Esri has been able to add together a picayune to a greater extent than data to their map. If you lot click on whatever of the lines drawn on the map the mention of the province across the body of body of water is revealed, every bit is the discover of miles away the province truly is.
