Map Info & Chart : I’m Bob, aka the “Bo” in Hobo-Dyer Equal Area Projection Maps. We’re giving away free maps and searching for someone to buy our company who loves maps as much as we do.
Hello all, I’m Bob Abramms, and I’m an equal area map evangelist. My business partner, Howard Bronstein, and I created the [Hobo-Dyer Equal Area Projection Map](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobo%E2%80%93Dyer_projection) (Howard is the ‘Ho’, and I’m the ‘Bo’. Mick Dyer was our cartographer in the UK). We’ve been selling maps for 20+ years with ODTmaps. Our mission has been to use maps to teach people to see the world from a broader, more inclusive perspective. [We’re actually pretty close to how xkcd described us](https://xkcd.com/977/), especially in believing the world needs a revolution in consciousness!
Before we hand over the keys, w[e’re giving away a bunch of our printed maps,](https://manywaystoseetheworld.org/collections/free-maps-and-more) as well as many [free resources you can download](https://manywaystoseetheworld.org/collections/free-downloads). The two of us are approaching 70 and ready to retire … so ODTmaps is for sale! We’ve had potential buyers, but none so far have shared our vision. We’d really love to find a group that shares our idea that maps can help expand our view of the world, and our place on it. If you know of any investors or entrepreneurs who are as excited about maps as we are, we would love to hear from you.
My young friend who got me to make this post also suggested we do an ‘AMA’ to talk about my interviewing Arno Peters (of the Peter Projection map) in Bremen Germany, and why & how we ended up creating the Hobo-Dyer map. Would any of you want to hear a retiring map publisher tell some old stories? Let me know…
Thanks, Bob Abramms[https://manywaystoseetheworld.org ](https://manywaystoseetheworld.org/)
