2019 FLIBS Transit Map
I've just updated the transit map for the 2019 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. It shows shuttle bus routes and stops, Water Taxi stops and Uber and Lyft stops as well as parking. Rather than put it on my site this year I am going to refer you to the map as it appears on the official show site.
TRANSIT, PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION MAPS:
These maps are often presented from a direct overhead perspective, giving them a familiar appearance similar to the street maps many people use in their cars. Accuracy, clarity, and selective emphasis are essential, as these maps are frequently used in real time, often while navigating busy streets or parking areas. I tailor the level of detail to each client's needs, including only the elements that are most useful for users, ensuring that finding the right location is always intuitive and straightforward.
In many recent projects, I have incorporated geospatial data to produce maps in a more conventional cartographic style. Complex sites with dense street networks, multiple access points, or high volumes of features require reliable external data sources to ensure efficiency and accuracy. Even when using this data, I apply my own illustrative approach to enhance readability, highlight key locations, and maintain a consistent visual identity that aligns with the client's goals.
There are also cases where a three-dimensional perspective is advantageous. A 3D view can provide a more realistic understanding of a site, helping viewers visualize parking areas, transit hubs, and landmarks in context. In locations dominated by prominent features or architectural highlights, this perspective can make orientation easier and offer users a more immersive, intuitive experience than a standard overhead view.
Whether presented in 2D or 3D, these maps are designed to simplify navigation, improve user confidence, and support the operational and marketing goals of transportation, parking, and transit organizations. By combining precision, clarity, and visual appeal, they provide an essential tool for both staff and visitors.
