1.3.6. Self Assessment

We found the following topographic map in the Internet on a website which advertises Railpasses for Europe. The map breaks some of the representation rules that we presented you in this and the first chapter. What would you change in this map and how do your suggestions for improvements look like? Put 5 improvements on the discussion board "Topographic Map" and comment on 5 entries of your colleagues with whom you do not agree.
