[These 17 separate web-page chapters are linked in their own right because they elaborate on my choice of Cahill's design over Fuller's. This list is also an easier-to-access table of contents than in the presentation itself.]

Part II: Critique: Dymaxion Map Compared to Cahill:
Seven Severe Design Flaws of Fuller's Map

	Fuller	Cahill
1	• 9.1) Layout assymetrical Asymmetry of layout; also has two split triangles	Octants in perfect symmetry
2	• 9.2) Graticule irregular Irregularity of graticule; different grid in every facet; meridians and parallels splayed and bent; low-resolution 15° geocells	Identical grid in every facet, smooth curves and meridians; suitable for high resolution 5° or 1° geocells
3	• 9.3) Korea distorted Contortion of Korea and Norway	No distortion of Korea and Norway
4	• 9.4) Scalability poor Poor scalability; the larger the map the worse it looks	Good at any scale from smallest to largest
5	• 9.5) Anti-metric edges Anti-metric, irrational, unstated edges of facets: 7,048.89 km	Octant edges are 10,000 km: basis of metric system
6	• 9.6) Globe fidelity poor Poor fidelity to globe: off-center icosahedron not aligned, nor in scale, to any meridian or parallel; no comparable 5° geocells	Perfect visual fidelity to globe; octants aligned to axis, poles, equator, and all parallels and meridians; some versions have 5° geocells.
7	• 9.7a) Learnability poor • 9.7b) Learnability poor Poor learnability: 22 disorienting facets; no equivalent spherical icosadron-globe	Global teaching tool par excellence in eight easy pieces; Cahill map is globe's alter ego

• 9.8) Conclusion

• 1) Design essentials; X-Y coordinates; construction; latitude lengths, 1° & 5°

• 2) Mary Jo Graça: Constructing 1° CKOG & Megamap with Perl & OpenOffice.org

• 3) Complete X-Y coordinates for CKOG template & 1/1,000,000 Megamap

• 4) Perl program "OOmacroMaker4" by Mary Jo Graça

• 5) OOo macros via Perl for CKOG and Megamap

• 6) Grid protocol in the Cahill-Keyes Megamap

• 7) Toward a digital coastline in Cahill-Keyes; MJ's "CKOG-Plus" program & diagrams

(part 7 was added later, and preceded by Waterman review, below)

• 1) Megamap Beta-1 presentation and images

• 2) Megamap Beta-1 technical annexes
