Generalise your Map

In this synthesis exercise, you have to generalise, according to the rules you have learned in this unit, the following map.

Map to generaliseMap to generalise

You can download the map in the following formats:
Gen_exercise_raster.jpg (73 Ko)
Gen_exercise_vector.svg (4 Ko)

The generalisation must be at the scale 1 : 2. You should spend about 1h to carry out this exercise.

There are two solutions for giving your work to the teacher/tutor (before the deadline he/she gave you) back:

  1. Send your generalised map as *.jpg picture (format: 700 X 670; 72 dpi) to your teacher/tutor by mail.
  2. Give him/her the original printed map (on a DIN A4 white page), highlighted (red pen) with your generalised solution.
