When we send or receive a postcard, Postcrossing provides us with a helpful little map depicting the postcard’s journey. Map A supposedly depicts the travels of a card that I recently sent to Germany. The problem is, the card took twenty-eight days to arrive as opposed to the average eleven days that my cards typically take to arrive in Germany. So I believe that the graceful little blue arc that the Postcrossing algorithm used to depict the travels of my card is not really accurate. Perhaps in situations like these, the Postcrossing algorithm should use a perhaps more accurate diagram like that in map B.
Then again, with the German matrix stamps, it’s possible at least within Germany. I don’t track it, but sometimes the cards seem really travel in circles, as far as I read it in the German topics
