现有的，以下章节将更适合本章，因为他们考虑'一般地图设计'方面，而不是专门涉及定性或定量地图。除了传统的定性与定量细分，这本书还侧重于设计（从而如何阅读）救济写照和图像地图。最后一章中的卫星也自上一版以来进行了更新，例如增加了Worldview3。“地图阅读”部分以“地图准确性”一章结束。本书的地图分析部分采用了一种方法，即复杂性在七章中的每一章都逐渐增加。这些章节展示了许多实际的例子，展示了如何在许多现实生活中真正使用地图，以获得允许您计算距离和方向的测量。这些反过来又是定位和导航所必需的。接下来，重点介绍了要素的空间分析、表面分析、模式分析以及空间要素与数据层之间的空间关联分析。文本中很好的补充是对2014年诺贝尔奖的引用，对磁性decomposition的更新和对导航应用程序（社区驱动应用程序Waze）的引用。在有关地图判读的部分中，我们考虑了一些案例，这些案例并非详尽无遗，而是说明了一些被广泛采用的基本原则。这些案例侧重于岩石圈（地质和地貌）、大气和生物圈（例如天气图、气候和物种分布）以及人类景观（土地使用、农业、人口和种族）。本书的这一部分以一个关于地图和现实的适当和适用的章节结束，一方面，“警告”要小心地图上的信息，另一方面，展望未来（网络地图和“物联网”）。在地图使用的不同版本中，计算机在地图制作和地图使用方面都扮演着越来越重要的角色。这对于用户可以与地图进行的交互尤其适用。因此，添加链接到在线应用程序的QR码是一个有价值的解决方案。这种互动的最新步骤实际上没有在展望中考虑，这是数据的贡献和分布式服务器系统的使用（mashup地图）。当阅读这些章节时，我相信地图阅读部分所包括的内容对广大和不同的读者是有价值的，而地图分析和地图解释部分所包括的内容需要更高级的技能，这可能对更专业的目标群体更感兴趣。特别是，最后一部分可能对领域专家有益。因此，一些潜在读者可能会感兴趣的是只访问书的一部分（例如，使用电子书版本）。
existing, following chapters would be better suited to this chapter as they consider ‘general map design’ aspects, not specifically related to qualitative or quantitative maps. Besides the traditional qualitative versus quantitative subdivision, the book also focusses on the design (and thus how to read) relief portrayal and image maps. The satellites in the last chapter are also updated since the last edition with the addition, for example, of Worldview3. The Map Reading part concludes with a chapter on Map Accuracy. The Map Analysis part of the book takes an approach whereby complexity gradually increases throughout each of the seven chapters. These chapters show many practical examples which show how to really use the map in a number of real-life situations in order to derive measures that allow you to calculate distances and directions. These in turn are necessary for position finding and navigation. Next, the chapters focus on spatial analysis of features, the analysis of surface, pattern analysis and spatial association analysis among spatial features and data layers. Nice additions in the text are the referral to the Nobel Prize of 2014, an update of the magnetic declination and referral to navigation-apps (community drive app Waze). In the part concerning Map Interpretation, a number of cases are considered which are not exhaustive but illustrate a number of basic principles that are widely adopted. These cases focus on the lithosphere (geology and landforms), the atmosphere and biosphere (e.g. weather maps, climate and distribution of species) and the human landscape (land use, agriculture, population and ethnicity). This part of the book ends with an appropriate and applicable chapter on Maps and Reality with, on the one hand, a ‘warning’ to be careful with information on maps and, on the other hand, a look into the future (web maps and ‘Internet of Things’). Across the different editions ofMap Use, computers have a played an increasingly important role; for both map making and map use. This holds specifically true for the interaction users can have with the maps. The addition of the QR codes which link to online applications is therefore a valuable solution. The most recent step in this interaction is actually not considered in the outlook, which is the contribution of data and use of distributed server systems (mashup maps). When reading through the chapters, I believe that the ones included in the Map Reading part would be valuable to a large and diverse audience, whereas the ones include in Map Analysis and Map Interpretation require more advanced skills, which might be more of interest to a more specialist target group. In particular, the last part could be beneficial for domain experts. Therefore, it might be of interest to some potential readers to have access to only a part of the book (for example, using the e-book version).
