EVS-Islands

I struggle with the notion that what I produce is valid cartographically and beneficial to my viewers on a variety of levels. I know my maps, specifically the shorelines, are excellent. They work all the way to 1:25,000 scale. And that is working off of Landsat ETM+ 2000 imagery. My shorelines are profoundly more accurate when I work off of 1-meter imagery.

That said, I seldom, if ever get feedback from my viewers. Many of you visit on a regular basis, some less often. You love controversy (my ESRI posts), free things (where to snag free map data) and my "How To" posts attract many readers (How To Make A Map In GE). Some of you come for the maps or the images of islands.

I know my blog is unique in what it offers, free custom maps, most often of previously poorly mapped areas. Are any of you able to use the maps? Realizing my maps are primarily focused on shoreline delineation, many of my projects can appear to be boring. With that in mind I am adding more images to better display the island. I give you a variety of scales and other images or links to more info. I use the slideshow format because I can load more images into a post. Is this helpful?

I love what I do, making maps of islands. My finished projects are yours to use. All I ask of you, if you find what I do beneficial, let me know. If my work can be improved and it is in my power to do that, let me know. I get between 50 to 100 visitors per day. About 30% are repeat visitors. You are the ones that can give me the best feedback. So, please, take a moment and drop me a line. Either a comment or email me. Thanks in advance
