Collection of cartographic disorientation stories

This dataset is a collection of disorientation stories experienced during the use of a multi-scale topographic map (such as Google Maps, Bing Maps, OpenStreetMap, the ones produced by national mapping agencies), either on a phone, or on a computer. These experiences come from different discussions the authors had with colleagues, friends and family members about being disoriented while exploring a pan-scalar map. This collection is an on-going work, and new versions will be released when other stories will be collected.

The stories are gathered in the file named disorientation_stories_table.xlsx, with a textual report of the story in one of the columns of the table. The other files are images illustrating the different stories.
