Maps can also be used to illustrate complex information in a way that is easy to understand. They can be used to help us make decisions and plan strategies.

Ever hear anybody use the expression “You better be careful you don’t dig too deep or you will end up in China” while digging a hole?

What would be the  real Antipode (straight line that connects one location on the globe with a location on the other side of a globe while going through the center axis) for that hole you were digging? The antipodes interactive web map depicts antipodes automatically for any location that you select.
