My place of employment recently found out one of our out of country Resorts (in Aruba) was using 'their own map'. So they had me create a 'better' one for said place. Here is the final out come...
Top: Map they were using
Bottom: My map based on their map, and images we have on file for them

Can you imagine checking into a RESORT and getting that crappy print out to find your room? haha...
Can't really change much on it, but just showing off for another map making post on here so I don't thread jack their original question.
Cheers! :D

What about the #s and labels? It can't be an effective map with out those. To be sure it's prettier and more professional, but less functional for the vacationer who needs to find his/her room # or the chapel (which are all cearly labels on the crappy map).
You were going to add those weren't you, this is an almost finished version, right?

Ovaltine: I knocked those off of the map since alot of the names are trademarked and such and didn't want my company yelling at me for posting this online.... They are there, I am just not showing them to the general public. :o
