Diverse Opportunities to Compile and Share Maps
1 like292 views
This document summarizes the maps and mapping applications created for the 2010 Esri International User Conference. A variety of printed and online maps were produced, including maps for the conference agenda, sessions, and facilities. An interactive web and mobile application was also developed that allowed users to find rooms and get directions between locations in the conference facilities using a high quality routing network. Future work is discussed to enhance the mapping capabilities and link it to additional conference and scheduling information.

- 7. Why bother? 5 5” Persistent and temporary features/events Superflous detail 3” Illegible labels Detail for inaccessible areas Illegible icons
- 8. More evidence against the state… 11” Symbols not in legend 8.5” Symbols not the same Colors not in legend size as in legend
- 10. Our solution… Replace with different graphic from Andrew
- 11. A closer look… Numbers for persistent features/ Letters for temporary features/ events events Symbols explained in legend y p g (legend continued on second page) No superflous detail Inaccessible areas Legible labels Legible icons
