   The large circles often mask the little ones. No legend, no symbol scale, no color scale. That's not how you do thematic cartography.

    Thanks for this very interesting report of the conference. The positions and arguments are well and shortly exposed. The boundary between diagram and geographical map is in question with subway "maps", and the graphic design is still a chal

    I'm more interested by the versioning function. For book-size manuscripts i work chapter by chapter + annexes.

    I love the idea of automatic secure saves for my writings. I can use flashbake instead of dropbox. But i'd like to have a clear understanding of GitHub free plans caveats, especially about privacy of the repos :)

    I'm specially appalled by learning the fact that all magazine maps are officially rubber-stamped to inform the reader about the usage of the map ! More on this subject : http://www.indianexpress.com/news/foreign-magazine-map-is-st...

    Google Maps is not useless, far from it. The projection method chosen (Mercator) is useless for the small scales, and misleading. Except if you are a (XVII° century) marine navigator. De-zoom and look at the apparent continent sizes, it's j

    The micro-scale graphical design is good. It's a pity, however, that big geographical and data quality blunders are present on Google Maps. Examples : world projection (Mercator, useless), lack of metadata (dates of the images ?), choice of

    The best (scientifically sound and recent) information about color perception i found is in Colin Ware books : - Information Visualization : perception for design (chapter 4 about color) - Visual Thinking (more accessible).

    Google Maps must diffuse metadatas with their maps : date, origin/source, level of quality, scale of usability, etc. It's the least they can do to reduce the occurence of such problems. Any honest and serious map data diffusion present meta

    It sounds a bit paranoid (and surely technically unimportant), but the first negative aspect that i think of is : this is putting Google into our servers, too.
