Map Critique #2

 Vicinity map of De La Salle University - Manila


This map is a vicinity map of one of the biggest academic institution or university in the Philippines, the De La Salle University - Manila. DLSU - Manila occupies at least  four hectares lot along Taft, Manila. Along its vicinity are other colleges and universities. And this map was published in the university's website.

This map is a nice map for me because this is a user friendly map. For students who haven't taken any Cartography related course, this map is very easy to interpret. Labels and boundaries are clear.

But like other map makers common mistake, this map must have a scale and legend. Also, this map is like a land use map but the map maker didn't specify the particular land use in the area.
