The map above is just a fun look at the Google Trends for Brilliant Maps compared to Terrible Maps over the past 12 months.
Congrats to Michael Howe at Terrible Maps for winning the US, my home country of Canada, Australia and the biggest map prize of all New Zealand.
My only consolation is that I “won” 3 out of the 4 countries I’ve ever lived in.
Here is the relative share by country:
