MAP ARTIST PROGRAM

 

Map Artist is the perfect tool for creating customized maps to include in research projects and reports. Map Artist offers endless possibilities. It has a huge collection of map styles to choose from, and they can be customized to suit your special needs. In this program, we will assume you have been asked to create a map for a social studies report.

Step 1. When you open Map Artist, a world map will be displayed. Type “USA” in the dialogue box. Click GO. A map of USA will be displayed.

Step 2. Click on the drop-down menu next to the outline map of the state. Click on the type of map you need for your report.

· OUTLINE shows only the outline shape of the state with no highways or population centers indicated.

· TOPOGRAPHIC indicates elevations（海拔）as well as the location of major cities.

· SHADED RELIEF shows only natural landforms (mountains, valleys, rivers) and national parks.

· POLITICAL shows major cities, interstates, and major highways.

· HISTORICAL recalls the oldest maps on record.

 

For the purposes of this program, select OUTLINE. A map showing an outline of USA will be displayed.

Step 3. Click CUSTOMIZE on the menu bar down the left side of the screen.

CUSTOMIZE allows you to place custom data on the map you have selected.

1．Click on the button next to the appropriate symbol. For practice, click on the shovel, which symbolizes archaeology.

3．Now use your mouse to click on the spot on the map where you would like this data to be placed.
