31 Quality rating categories A - Label appearance and readability B - Label positioning and generalization C - Point symbol appearance D - Point generalization E - Line symbol appearance F - Line generalization G - Area symbol appearance H - Area generalization I - Terrain appearance J - Terrain generalization K - Vertical integration between layers L - Overall appearance of map (Goldilocks)
32
33 Quality rating categories A - Label appearance and readability Too small or large Letter forms corrupted (at angle) Too light or dark Styling poor (too narrow, italic, bold, letter spaced) Individual characters unaligned (uneven) Letter form is jagged (due to rendering) Different case would better suit feature (change to lower case) Leading too close or far within a label Poor font choice
34 Quality rating categories H - Area generalization Areas too small to suit scale (outline closes in on area fill) Too many area features (cluttered) Area shapes too complex (or too simple or unrealistic) Gaps between areas too thin Hierarchy of area symbols would better suit feature type More categories of area symbols would better suit feature type Category or hierarchy of symbols is not clear
35 Quality rating categories K - Vertical integration between layers Boundaries misregistered (e.g., county and state line do not align) Flowlines not in valleys within terrain Water bodies not in flat areas of terrain Suspect road routings in relation to ridges and valleys Boundaries miss road or water features that likely guide position Points in middle of major roads Land features located in water and water features on land
