Exercise: Modify Another Map

Now it’s your turn to decide how to change a map to reflect a different purpose or audience.

Step 1: Modify another map

a. Download one of the maps below (or select another if you prefer).

San Juan NHP, American camp: http://www.nps.gov/carto/MAPS/SAJHmap2.zip

Craters of the Moon, ID
http://www.nps.gov/carto/MAPS/CRMOmap1.zip

Capulin Volcano
http://www.nps.gov/carto/MAPS/CAVOmap1.zip

b. Make a copy of the map and name it "MapForAudience.ai"

c. Choose a new purpose or audience for this map (e.g. children, bicyclists, photographers, Park Service employees)

d. Modify this map in ways that make it seem more appropriate for the purpose or audience you've chosen. Make a note about what audience you've chosen, what changes you've made, and why they make the map more appropriate for this audience. Push yourself to think creatively & thoroughly - feel free to add information (it doesn't have to be real), and alter text.
