Better Maps

February 6, 2026

A year ago, I drew-in a lot of waterways and borders because the available map styles just weren't suitable for the purpose here. Now I have created my own custom map style which emphasizes water features over roads and borders. Borders were especially tricky, since they are often those same water features I want to show. Maps aren't very useful without roads, so as you zoom in the roads details reappear.

Questions

Should I get a paddleboard or a kayak?

Get a kayak. You can do a lot more with a kayak. I honestly don't see the point of a paddleboard. If you think you'll look cool like a surfer, trust me, you won't. To be honest, paddleboards look pretty dorky to me, not to mention ungainly.

Should I get a kayak or a canoe?

For one person, I think a kayak is better, but I'd rather have a canoe than a two-place kayak. Then again, I'd rather have two kayaks than a canoe.
