Map Elements
Scale •inappropriate for small-scale maps•not needed for familiar large-scale maps
Direction Indicator•north arrow - only for unusual orientations on large-scale maps
•use geographic grid on small-scale maps

Dimensionless Map Scales
•ratio that relates a unit of measure on a map to some number of the same units of measure on the earth's surface
•1:25,000•tells us that 1 unit of measure = 25,000 of the same units on the earth's surface
•1” on the map = 25,000 inches on the earth's surface
•one meter or one yard or one kilometer or one mile would represent 25,000 meters or yards or kilometers or miles, respectively, on the earth's surface.

Esri alternative 2
•Web map publishing using ArcGIS Desktop, Online, and Explorer
http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcgis-explorer/1500/download
1. Get free accounts at Esri
2. Create map composition in ArcGIS Desktop and save as layer
package (file with data and symmbolization)
3. Upload layer packages to your ArcGIS Online account (up to 2GB)
4. Author and provide access to map composition in ArcGIS Explorer
