The Geochron’s mapset has three maps spliced together in a six feet loops that winds through the clock.
Until 2015, the Geochron had only been built around a Geopolitical map spliced together. Now, every restoration and new clock clock has a combination mapset as shown above. Every third day, the clock will display a topographical mapset.
The Topographical mapset shows the earth like “view from the sky”. Indeed, the satellite imagery composited into an entire map of the world is stunning. Compared to the human view, this is the Earth of the last 10,000 years, with several dozen large cities shown for reference. The muted contours of the ocean bottom are visible too in this map.
Our premium mapsets combine the contours of the ocean with the topography or geopolitical details of the land, and are several orders of magnitude deeper in colour and depth.
