Maps are awesome! Period. As the digital juggernaut rolls along, paper maps have been relegated to our walls and floors. But still, more often than most, we rely on paper maps as a tourist. Tourist maps have become rather boring lately but this map designed by Camilla Hempleman, a recent design graduate from Kingston University that changes color based on temperature and whether it is raining or not, is the most accurate use of the term #Geoawesomeness! A truly awesome idea!
