Finding your way around a new airport—at least major ones in the US—just got a little easier with the help of Bing search. The new airport maps show you the location of terminals, ticket counters, restrooms, eateries, ATMs, and more.

To find a map of one of the 42 airports currently covered (Microsoft plans on covering more), just search for the airport name, code, or city on Bing and click on the map and then zoom all the way in. You can also enter in your flight number to get to a map link.

Google Maps covers airports, but doesn't yet show you a complete view of the inside like Bing does (comparing JFK on Google, I find there's only a Wendy's and a Our Lady of the Skies RC Chapel in Terminal 4 there).

To see the full list of the mapped airports covered now, you can check the Bing Maps Blog post below.

Central Park Entire, The Definitive Illustrated Map is the most detailed map of any urban park in the world. I spent over two years creating it, walking more than 500 miles as I documented over 170 different kinds of trees and shrubs. Central Park contains over 58 miles of paved paths and many more miles of obscure woodland trails. I hiked along every one of them multiple times in order to identify and pinpoint each major tree. There are 19,630 trees drawn and placed in position on this map. There are no filler trees, no fluff. Every tree symbol represents a real tree in the Park, and you can identify its genus or species with the accompanying tree legend. In addition, over 200 illustrations show every bridge, archway, tunnel, building, statue, monument, recreational area, and playground.

A must-buy for landscape and map buffs.

Almost any cartographic representation of the continent is bound to upset some individual reader or government. Alas, we use maps not to portray the world as it ought to be, or even as we would like it to be, but as it is.
