1.5.6. Self Assessment

Search the internet for three interactive maps with various zoom, pan and spatial reference functions. Send the links to these maps to your tutor by e-mail. Your tutor will collect all the links, pick some of the most interesting maps and post the links to these maps on the discussion board "Spatial Navigation". Then, you will have to look at these maps carefully. Write a short essay (ca. 1/2 A4 page) about the map's spatial navigation tools. First, define for each map your use of the map and then answer to questions like "Do you miss a tool?" or "Do you think that one or several tools are unnecessarily implemented?". Give reasons for your opinion. Hand in the essay to your tutor.
