Harsh words. In the final paragraph of your blog post, you write: "In addition the locals are not the only people who will need to use a map. Tourists, passers-by, people moving their goods or offering their services also need maps of places where they go. Everyone needs a map even if not everyone wants to make it or use it." But this is exactly the criticism we're facing - bluntly put: "Westerners need maps of places so they can conquer them by selling their products and services."
