The first rule for better YAH maps happens to be rooted in math. I will give the mathematical idea real quick, in case you are quick with that stuff, and then we are going to make intuitive sense of it. The two-point theorem states that to match two congruent figures (like a region in real life and a map of the same region) of which each is rotated...
Let’s leave nature for a second and turn to urban life, where your YAH map also may live. Look at this one. Chances are you may be a bit unsure which building is which. But why? Technically we are passing the test of having enough identifiable points with flying colors — we got the marker and two more buildings! The problem is symmetry. Now we coul...
Let’s look at a real-world example of a map again just to appreciate how fiddly and complex they often are and have to be: Imagine being somewhat lost and trying to rebuild a general mental map in your head. You found a map, nice! Now you have these two buildings in the distance…are they part of Lower Village (great name btw) or Stewe? If you are a...
Let’s start with the example: This map is at least somewhat asymmetrically placed and has a couple of points for identification — so then, which church are we seeing, A, B or C? There is one correct solution — try to figure it out and describe what you had to do to find it. Then we are going to make it real easy: What makes this map so much more pa...
Let’s recap all these recommendations for you-are-here maps: 1. Provide at least two well labeled points on the map that can be identified easily in real life. 2. Place the map in an asymmetrical part of the terrain 3. Make the YAH sign 800% better by drawing a figure looking at a map, rotated as to match real life usage 4. Have the view in front o...
