Locative Media & The City

Chris - I enjoyed your map of Buffalo. :)

I usually travel with other people, and this has affected the way that I reconstruct the relationships between roads.

You kind of hit the nail on the head with the above statement. I'm assuming by traveling with other people you mean not driving yourself. It is far too easy to not pay strict attention to the road when you are a passenger. It's quite an interesting phenomenon. You and the driver are travelling the same roads, yet, the perception and experience are completely different. I could travel a route a handful (or more!) of times and still never commit it to memory, but drive it once or twice and it's almost cemented down permanently.
