JE 25 Map of Africa

I should be better at geography.  I am visual, absurdly visual, so you would think maps I would be okay at.  Not so.  Street maps are embarassing.  I have to orient my body - and map - in accordance to things around me. 

Since I have had Africa in my mind for the past 3 years, I thought I should verify that the map in my head does in fact coincide with the map in reality.  It does not. 

For one, on my head map Tanzania is way farther north, not right at the equator.  Although I did have Zanzibar right in position with it.  In case any if you are like me - here is a map of Africa courtesy of worldatlas
