	This is definitely the most practical map in the series, I'm sad because I know I'll probably never have a reason to use it.

 I can't figure out what the red arrows are.  My best guess is that they indicate the direction that the map was distorted in that area. It would be good if somebody would explain. [[User:Jordan Brown|Jordan Brown]] ([[User talk:Jordan Brown|talk]]) 04:07, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

	I would really love to see an animation that morphs back and forth between Mercator and this comic. I say Mercator because I suspect it's what the comic map is based on, the goal is to use whichever well-known projection is closest to the xkcd map. If I had any know-how in this field I might try to make that animation myself, but I'd have a really insane learning curve to do it and it's not worth it. --[[User:NeatNit\|NeatNit]] ([[User talk:NeatNit\|talk]]) 11:47, 16 February 2026 (UTC)		I would really love to see an animation that morphs back and forth between Mercator and this comic.
