Step 5: Evaluation and Publication of the Map According the Map Media
- Evaluation of the map: One of the most important points in mapmaking is to know that you are designing the map for others,
not for yourself. Therefore, when your map is more or less finished you have to determine whether users find it useful and
informative. So, show the map to your circle (colleagues, friends, etc.) and ask them about the design, colours, etc.
If the feedback analysis reveals that the map is not useful and informative enough, then the map may have to be reconstructed in an other way (step 4), and at the very worst, you have to set-up the map parameters once again (step 3). - Publication of the map: Once the map has its definitive aspect, the publication phase can begin. Nowadays, personal computers are more and more involved as publishing systems: web mapping, laser printer, plotter systems etc. If you want to learn more about the different publication media, some information can be found in the lesson "Solutions for Digital Mapping" of the Intermediate Presentation Module.
