Google Maps center

According to Google Maps, the centre of the known world is somewhere near Wichita (notice x=0&y=0). OK, so it is quite neat. Shame the rest of the world doesn't exist, though.

Centering

Wichita, KS is the center of this alternate Earth. You can tell that it's not actually this planet because there's way too much ocean around North America (and no other continents, either).

And it's flat too

Try panning in any direction - you will disappear into an unending ocean.

/me wonders if this is a variant of DiscWorld, but can't find Ank MorPork

Nice modern basemaps, it shows fairly recent state of teh Boston Big Dig. The keyboard pan is cute (but probably won't work with my paranoid browser at home!)
