The purpose of the map is to detail the location of the ECS Integrated Design Services in the Transportation Research building as was stated on the website. From the onset, you can see that this map is pleasing to eye with no map-crap. The location of the ECS Integrated Design Services building is presented in a contrasting color that does not fade into the existing data. Labels are clear and easy to read. The North arrow is present which would be important in this instance as this map is not oriented in true north. These elements cover Tufteisms 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 and commandment 4.

Bad Map Example
This is an example of a bad map. The map is heavily cluttered, there is no legend, and no data is visible. There is no way for the map reader to understand what the map is trying to convey.
