What do you call it when you digitally erase a population group from an area to make that area empty or homogeneous, or the deliberate attempt to make a national, ethnic, or religious group wholly or partially disappear from the map?”


[update]No response from Apple yet, it’s unclear if, since, why, when this has been the case. Missing data? error?

It's an unique technique to show the world slowly being unveiled by European exploration. Published by Quin in 1846 we see a world still shrouded in clouds and waiting for illumination. (This map reaches up to 1551 A.D.)
Would love to see a similar map of first nations/native peoples perspective, who had reached the depths of the Amazon and Patagonia, and even islands of the Pacific, without knowledge of Europeans.

I use the #maps application for some private purposes, but as long as it is not possible to share the map with selected objects (e.g. photos) publicly and anonymously, this application has limited usability.
