Location drawings


Map design idea:

Jackie:“We reckon that by drawing up the whole map using isometric view will make the map looks very complicated and especially hard for the user to view it on Ipaq. After discussion we have agreed on the style of the map to be a combination of 2D and 3D. The map will be based on a simple 2D top view, and for the specific spot that we will be using (civic square, water front, railway station etc), the area will be drawn out more detailed. This way, it will not only make the overall look of the map much more clean and tidy, also it attracts the participant’s interest as it highlighted the spot that they’ll be going.”

Jackie and me are in charge of the GPS map drawing for our group. I am focusing on part of the map drawings such as Railway Station and Civic Square. As Jackie mentioned, we have changed our map style from isometric view into the combination of 2D&3D top view. Spots will be detailed drawing and drawn by the 3D top view on the map. Overall, its drawing is based on goggle map satellite view. All of us think that it will make the map simpler, easier and much more attracted for our participants. Generally, the simple 2D map view and satellite detailed map view enables participants much easier and concentrate on the spots they are going to.
