Why Choose a Pacific-Centred Map?
This orientation re-centres the map around the Pacific Ocean, placing Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Rim at the forefront. It provides a geographically balanced alternative to the traditional Africa- or Euro-centred perspectives and is especially relevant for users in Oceania, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.
A Pacific-centred map is ideal for:
-
🧳️ Trans-Pacific travel planning
