Maps are fun. Making a map, however, often takes a lot of time. It can even be a long process just to gather all the bits and pieces that are needed to begin. The Map Design Toolbox is a shortcut for all mapmakers. The book provides inspiration and a DVD with 640 ready-to-go vector files of not only continents, countries, and cities, but also compass roses, landmark buildings, place names, rivers, trees, and much more. These tools ensure that you can concentrate on the content and look of your map right away. 

This book compiles a selection of visually inspiring maps, as well as a wide range of individual components for creating legends and sets of icons related to themes including transportation, sports, and vacation. With its wide range of practical graphic templates The Map Design Toolbox provides time-saving groundwork for creating compelling maps of any kind.
