Exercise 4: Read A Map

Exercise 4: Read A Map

There is highlighting used to make the legends stand out by having box’s around them in a darker colour. There is also highlighting used on main trails on the map. Layering is also used when roads overlap and the positioning of the legends as they cover parts of the map. When this map was first given to me, my reaction was that it would be impossible for me to do anything with the map. The map does not work for me. The big reason why is because its written in a language that I can not read, and there are barely any symbols that would even give me a hint of what’s on the map. Also another reason I don’t like it is because some of the stuff in the legend is located on the map in basically the same colour as the background which makes it very hard to see.
