I just recently learned about McArthur's universal corrective map.. I guess someone once told him that he comes from a country at the bottom of the map so years later he came up with his "corrective" map where Australia is at the top. Both are legit. Which one do you like better?
(hope I'm allowed to post something like this, let me know if I'm not!)

i prefer the 1st map as I m more familiar with it & find it more convenient. As per convention North is shown at the top .

However the second map too is not very difficult to read , just takes sum time getting used to 😊

The Europeans wanted to be on top so that's why the one we're so used to looks like that.. 😆😆

I agree, it looks a little weird. (wait, Europe is not even at the way top.)

i prefer the first map because it is more familiar and i think many people would prefer the first map comparing to the second map.

1st one's better. See, in grade school, during annual function, the very first performance used to be a patriotic song with a girl in white sari with red border standing with her left hand extended on the side with her saree pallu --- image used to resemble the shape of bharat mata's map. Abhi map upside down ker diya toh that gal would be in a lot of dharam sankat😆
