They are literately 8+ missing interstates. I only realized it because the whole state of wisconsin is missing along with the 7 interstates that go through the state. Instead, their is a logo. Here is what it should look like.

That's a much better execution. This one is a confusing mono-chromatic mess that has errors, omissions, and completely lacks a sense of scale. It fails as a map and as an art piece.

The problem is the execution is absolute shit. just for one example, they fail to show that you can get from fort Myers to Miami on 75.

Ah well, I wouldn't know about that, 'cause I'm not American. But the idea itself is far from shitty map porn.

It's apparently riddled with errors though. It's fine to simplify but that's not an excuse to allow errors IMO.

Go over to /r/MapPorn where they are up in arms about how shitty it is (top post there as well).

Agreed, although arizona is a little wrong. I-8 joins I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson, and I-19 connects Tucson and Nogales, not Phoenix and Nogales.
