Upside Down Map of the Day

I don't know what was in the designer's mind for this website, but, last I looked, the normal convention is to orient a map so that North points up, as it is "mentally taxing for users and sometimes even preventing a user from properly understanding a map."

Reversing it makes it extremely confusing - well some genius decided to do that. Unfortunately, they've also decided to make the map item a pop-under as well, which is also, somehow made to be even worse than a pop-up!
