> Not going to lie, sometimes it feels that some of the Westerners act like that they don't even think of the remote possibility that they might not be the center of the world…? > South Korean maps do this, China maps do this, Japanese maps do this, I'm pretty sure South East Asia countries also do this, it's a normal thing to do. There's nothing special about having the Pacific Ocean centered. Worth noting that florence meridian (11E) is somewhat special because centering map on it avoids cutting any major land masses. The best pacific option (148E) still needs to deal with greenland somehow. Of course Korea is quite off from 148E, so the map here ends up bit wonky (Greenland is duplicated, but Nunavut is not?). | ||
