The Phantom Atlas: The Greatest Myths, Lies and Blunders on Maps by Edward Brooke-Hitching

4.0

Fictitious places that have appeared on maps. Some are islands and lands reported seen by ships and explorers and been placed on maps. But turned out not to be when they were searched for. Some have not been removed from maps until this century - within the last 10 or 20 years. Other places have out of legends that were believed and sought for centuries. Some are just plain made up - occasionally for profit. There are pictures of maps showing all these places that don't exist - real maps. A thing I thought interesting was that Google earth maps of the seas are a combination of satelllite images and old British Admiralty maps. Makes for an interesting combination.
