This might be a little better for that elongated seashore: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lat=30.3211741&;lon=-87.307148&z=9&l=0&m=b&v=1&show=/5237073/Gulf-Islands-National-Seashor">wikimapia.org/#lat=30.3211741&;lo ... al-Seashor<!-- m -->
Another long and narrow thing is this: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="www.wikimapia.org/#lat=8.7841025&;lon=76.6813946&z=18&l=0&m=b&v=6&search=home">www.wikimapia.org/#lat=8.7841025 ... earch=home<!-- m -->

I have to love the dark humor in a name like this; Remora Asset Management Solutions. A remora is a fish that attaches itself to a larger predatory fish, like a great white shark, and lives off of the scraps from the larger predator's killings. |

A beautiful scene for city planners and Engineers. A ferry line which could date back to pre-history, a semi-permanent pontoon bridge which practice dates back to Roman Times, and a quite modern bridge under construction. Three classic solutions to the same problem all in one image. |

I created this thread to honor people who created the best "corridors" and areas in Wikimapia, the best-mapped overall. I consider "places" to be better than road mapping, so please keep that in mind. Also, obviously, no city is perfect, so that's we're working on small microcosms of a city. Please also indicate the user(s) that largely made the area possible. So here's two of mine
Bay Area Boulevard (jdw7337)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lat=29.5399538&;lon=-95.1438278&z=16&l=0&m=b&search=baybrook%20mall">wikimapia.org/#lat=29.5399538&;lo ... ook%20mall<!-- m -->
While far from perfect, I appreciated the neat property outlines and the naming of every major big box store and restaurant.
Ford Road (KGB1313)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lat=42.3252256&;lon=-83.3394742&z=15&l=0&m=b">wikimapia.org/#lat=42.3252256&;lo ... 15&l=0&m=b<!-- m -->
KGB1313 has made plenty more of Michigan "corridors", and his detail is outstanding (as well as the history of such places!). Give him a good vote. I know I did! |

I personally think this is a very subjective view.
Not sure how the measurement or yardstick of 'best' should be based? |

That is different. Interesting places are for those places we find unique that are marked or for quirks in the map...citing "best marked" areas is ok as long as it points out aesthetics, but in the long run, I think you will find is won't be "subjective" as you say <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> |

Everyone has different opinions
It could depend on whether the reader:
Likes turning lanes to be marked or not
Thinks that building should be outlined or the property should be outlined
Has a different standard that is considered as good work
etc.
Some may not consider your examples as the best work. |

| Crazy. I discovered the damage myself while looking for still "Old Places" from the polygon map. The tornado missed the downtown area (Route 66!) but decimated the southern area...the high school, the hospital(!!), the Wal-Mart Supercenter, a bunch of other strip centers and retail, and blocks and blocks of homes reduced to rubble. |

My cousin recently went to Japan, where they explored Akihabara, ate lots of onigiri, and visited a neko café (which there needs to be some in the States). Takoyaki is served in high quantities, too.

A nice apartment overlooking a lake (an artificial lake, but water nonetheless), empty space nearby, and a light rail that can take you anywhere in Dallas. Just watch out when turning. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> |

[quote="stcraftie59":1yfux9qg]A firefox crop circle and what looks like a bunch of kid arrested? Very cool that it happened and was photographed at a perfect time. Also, this is from Oregon, about 35 miles SSW from Portland.
Veljkovic, the map in your post looks like it was set to View/Users map. I backed out for a better look and a bunch of avatars popped up... <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o -->)[/quote:1yfux9qg] |
