If a lot of people can't figure out the simple numbers SFO has used for years I don't see this helping honestly. Whenever I enter a terminal I don't know I look at the first gates on both sides and figure out which side even and odd are. No point in doing that, especially in the "F" terminal.

Wow, that is pretty funny when you look at it. I'm used to walking out a finger of a terminal and as you go out, the numbers go up on both sides. But look at the map...terminal C is almost normal, though, if C1 will be where they say, then the next one to it should be C3, but at least the rest go even on one side and odd on the other. The E terminal? E4 and E5 are next to each other then they finally start alternating. But the F gates are the best...LOL, interesting. I bet the consulting firm they hired to figure all this out made out like bandits!
