Look closely and you will see…
I know some of you have mix-up fatigue at this point, but this is one for the books.
Hansol’s map of Europe kind of reminds me of one of those annoying autostereograms that you have to stare at cock-eyed for a while before the solution pops out at you. The contours of Europe seem crude but normal. Then you notice Slovakia and Slovenia have been interchanged. And then Croatia pops up in a place you never expected to find it.
What’s odd is that they actually have authorized service centers in Ljubljana and Bratislava — you’d think someone would have shot them over an e-mail saying: “Hey, guys, really liked the flashy map BUT…”
Or perhaps not.
(Thanks Bober!)

Not only did they screw up Slovenia and Slovakia (which by now should be expected), but they totally misplaced Montreal on the American map, included Yugoslavia (no longer existant!), and shifted Austria and “Switz” a bit. If they can’t get a map right, I’m probabaly not going to but a TV from them anytime soon :-p
it’s seems their UK office is in the very north of scotland.. and also check the lazy way of including turkey without having to add 99% of its landmass…
Also, is it just me, or is Czech somewhere in the vicinity of Berlin?
Oh, and Yugoslavia of course being somwhere near Foča, Bosnia… Makes sense
Not only is their UK office in Scotland (who knows, it might be), but if you click it you’ll find out that the UK is actually just another name for Germany. Who knew?
And Croatia is a part of Italy?
@Alex: The same goes for their offices in Switzerland, Austria and (of all places!) France… Seems that someone forgot to mention to them that Blitzkrieg is over and done with
What’s even more puzzling is that all the countries are dots, as if they’re cities. The Netherlands are also curiously missing. I’d find it strange that they wouldn’t have an A/S Center there. I think they just forgot.
Maybe they were just to stoned to notice… The Dutch, I mean
hey, at least they didnt put croatia in slovenia and slovenia in italy. that would upset some ppl i know..
Not again!… Last week, in an Italian Bookshop of Gorizia, I saw the Italian translation of Martin Pollack’s Death in the Bunker: A Story About My Father. It’s a novel about a German guy from Laško who becomes a Nazi. Well, in the Italian translation, Laško is a town in Slovakia… God, is it so difficoult to take a look in a map or at least a dictionary? I just don’t get it.
Not to mention the continued existence of Yugoslavia, and the total absence of, BiH, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro e.t.c. 7rla,i.t.d.!
Funnily enough, I had to decline a job this morning because they actually needed (and didn’t know it) … you know.
A Slovak.
A-mazing. Just amazing.
Turkey, UK, Croatia, ‘Czech’… the lot
This is a map for strange maps, really.
