The map

[FatBurger]

I wanted to open up discussion about the map, since I believe it has a whole slew of clues. What we know is that the map was started by Radzinsky, and continued by Kelvin. We don't know if Desmond has put any work into it. Interesting to note that there is printed words in English, and cursive words in Latin. One set by Radzinsky and one by Kelvin, maybe?

Here are two pictures of the unadulterated map:

Comments from the Patchy thread about the stations:

Well...to go by the blast door map (and various hints and bits floating about the net) there are one or two major DHARMA stations we have not seen yet.

That this guy is being monitored puts him in a DHARMA station. Now...the possibilities are:

1) The Arrow - it looked like even the `Others' had forgotten about this one. Maybe `Patchy' took up residence? And the glass eye was found there.

2) The Staff (medical hatch). We never did see all of this one. It is possibly that `Patchy' might be some sort of site caretaker there - but if so, he was doing a really lousy job.

3) Swan Station...Er...its *gone*.

4) Hydra Station ... if this was the case, wouldn't we have seen him by now?

5) Pearl Station ... Nope, because I think this is where `Patchy' was being watched *from*. He might know about the Pearl, and been there before.

6) Flame (power generating station?) ... this is possible. Does this make `Patchy' the station engineer?

Also...is `Patchy' a regular member of the `others'? Or is he a isolated DHARMA employee like Kelvin? Or is he simply a castaway like Danielle?

Is the Flame Station the only one we haven't seen yet? Are those other squares on there actual stations? If not, what are they?

Man, I haven't looked at that map in ages. I've forgotten much.

Is the Flame Station the only one we haven't seen yet?

The only named one, yes.

Are those other squares on there actual stations? If not, what are they?

They appear to be, but there's no way to know for sure. If they aren't...well, who knows?

Interesting... the Hydra/Scorpion hatch still isn't on that map.

Makes me wonder about the validity of the second island that Benry & Friends are on.

Makes sense to me, it's on the other island and Radzinsky only knows about this one. The other island would have to be viewable from someplace within a 54 minute walk of the Swan

 

[snoochface]

Why 54 minutes?

... or a 45 minute sprint! (Assuming that Radzinsky can run as fast as REDGUARD!!!!)

 

[Redguard]

Why 54 minutes?

54 minutes one way.
54 minutes back.
= 108 minutes.

Back in time to press the button.

Come on Snoochface!! Did you forget the coffee this morning?

 

[FatBurger]

Why 54 minutes?

108 minutes to push the button, so 54 out and 54 back.

But now that I think about it, one watches the button and the other goes searching. We already know that Kelvin went off and left Desmond behind

Clearly I haven't had enough.

Clearly I haven't had enough.

It's ok... I didn't really get it either
