World map

[Stone]

I just wondered if other continent had the "same" world maps, thinking about where they pick the center...
What i mean is is asia the center of a world map from asia?, is america the center of an american map?
Or does evryone else also have Europe and Africa in the center(around the 0 degree)

For the most part they are all the same. The Center of most maps is based off of the Prime Meridian (0 Longitude) which slices through Western Europe and Africa. The only esception I've heard of is Australia. I here there maps are upside down.

america has it the orther way around, there the pasific ocean is the center (180 degrees) of the map and asia, africa and europa are on the left side of the map

I think that's only for our older maps. Most maps I've looked at are the way I described earlier.
