The MAP-100 from the late 80s is a perfect toy for vintage map and watch enthusiasts. It measures distances on real paper maps using a rotating wheel. By tracing a route, it could calculate how far you’d travel, long before GPS made navigation effortless. Source: buff.ly/HajOe1s

This animated map allows us to watch Manhattan grow up, literally. We see New York’s building boom from 1765 to 2014, as colonial houses give way to brownstones, tenements, skyscrapers, art deco icons, post-war towers and today’s luxury high-rises. Source: buff.ly/R8mvtfh
