Requiring a viewer to zoom out several times to determine the region of focus detracts from the viewing experience. (Pretend the viewer is from a different part of the country, or a different country.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maps should invite interactive exploration by the viewer, not be static (\u201cimages\u201d). The presentation should hold the attention of the viewer from start to finish.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maps should demonstrate \u201cthe science of where\u201d \u2013 the importance of location, patterns, and relationships between layers. There is an art to map design; too much data may feel cluttered, but showing viewers only one layer at a time may limit the viewers\u2019 easy grasp of relationships.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Care should be taken to make \u201cpopups\u201d useful, limited to just the relevant information. They should add important information, and be formatted to make the most critical information easily consumable. These popups can include formatted text, key links, images, data presented in charts, and so forth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Document the project thoroughly.
