A good map

This map has the key elements of north arrow, scale bar & text and simple legend. The map clearly displays its intent and has the spatial element of the major cities for reference without being intrusive. As a minor plus, it also shows the spatial adjacency to other states and labels those states (and Mexico) accordingly.

A Bad Map Indeed

I assume the red dots are towns? If so, how do I get to Mgarr? How far is it from Valetta and what road is it on? Maybe there are no roads? Oh dear, nevermind; I could always go to Circewwa by following the coastline... wait, it appears that town is now in the sea!! (NW corner of main Island, assuming a north of course).

Desirable Places To Work

I haven't yet been able to visit many places within the US since arriving in 2005 but I would say that a middle-of-the-road climate would suit me best after being brought up in a cold one and currently living in a hot one! The orange states too have caught my eye with some of their features.
