+**Maps and Yellow Pages**
+
+If you look back 10-15 years, we used “free maps” only as a last-resort way to
+find a tourism information office or shop that sells real maps. It also used to
+be funny and, in a way, interesting, to navigate “map-flavored yellow pages”.
+We knew we are looking at an ad brochure and acted accordingly.
+
+These days map-flavored Yellow Pages are embedded into every smartphone, which
+we use daily to navigate. I find it quite sad, because constantly projecting
+the world through such “maps” results in a very peculiar world understanding.
+For those who haven’t tried, it is an interesting exercise to use Yellow Pages
+to find playgrounds (when traveling with kids) or water fountains during hot
+days.
+
+Even in this era, not all is lost! Technology of real maps is moving and
+improving. I will remind you what a real map looks like and show how usable it
+is today. During the talk a licensed cartographer will give practical
+day-to-day tips for navigation and exploration. In the second half of the talk
+we will switch out our consumer hat to a creator hat and behold, create! No
+background in cartography required, only a smartphone.
