Distorted Map of Europe

distored map of Europe
Map of Europe for the Spanish Railway (RENFE) network connections as seen in Barcelona. I had never seen Switzerland shaped like this.

Relation to my thesis: the need of precision to deliver spatial information. In that case, a distorted country borders does not seem to really influence the reading of the map and the user cognitive map is not challenged.
