Map Critique 3


Image Source: http://boracay-hotels.net/boracay-philippines/boracay-maps/

This time, the map presents the basic map elements such as the north arrow, map scale with units and affiliated organization. But, in my own perspective, the location of north arrow and map scale is inappropriate since it is somehow hidden from sight because the map highlighted more of the WowPhilippines. The north arrow and scale bar should be located below the word Boracay so that it can be noticed by users easily. 

The map was studded by too many symbols which we do not know for what it stands for. The map should have a map legend in order to explain the symbols found in the map in order to avoid confusion. Another is that the map should be given a more appropriate title in order to promote better understanding of the map's purpose.An inset should be included in the map so that one person will not find difficulty in locating the area in the map since in a real map, Boracay Island is a very small island.
