There are three basic kinds of maps that answer three basic types of questions: The Location map answers the question, “Where am I?” The Navigation map answers the question, “How do I get there?” The Spatial Relationships map answers the question “How are these things related?” It’s this third type of map—a map that helps in our understanding of spatial patterns and relationships—where we as GIS professionals spend most of our time.  We work hard making our maps.  Our maps can be beautiful works of art, but that’s not why we make them.  We make them to answer a question, to solve a problem, and to advance our understanding.  And therein lies the power of the map.

Lots of tools, lots of layers, and no legend makes this web map hard to use. 3. Make it Intuitive Users should be able to understand and use your web map without any long instructions and manuals.  GIS data should be symbolized in a deductive
