Map Critique Lab



I just moved to Baldwin County, I need a map that will help me find my way around. This map look nice and simple it gives me basic information but this map is a bad map because of the purpose I am using it for. This map wont be able to help me navigate my way around this new area that I am at.



This map may look blurry but you can check this map out at:

It has a zoom in and out feature that shows you plenty of useful information, such as land marks, street names and more. This map is a very good map, it gives ample amount of information that can help me navigate my way around this area.

This map gives substantial information for what it is being used for, it has very effective labeling, well to sum it up i think it meets the six commandment's.


Mental Mapping Exercise


















I am originally from the Philippines. My family's port of entry was New York. I was in the Coast Guard for four years. I have been to California for some training and got stationed in Texas for for the rest of my enlistment so these are my second choices I enjoyed it. Alaska is nice but too cold , the green areas are my least favorite. I move to Alabama with my Husband so I love to stay and work here and mostly north of Florida and off course if I could convince my husband I would love to move to Hawaii.
