Does this deprive people of a vital orientation point, or jis it ust 'removing clutter' from the map? What does a non-spatially accurate map need to be useful / orientate oneslef on it anyway? Barcelona and Copenhagen tibe maps retain the coastline, and Paris's map still shows the Seine. Do we need a Thames on the London tube map or not?
