To compare styles over a much larger area, download the free versions of our panel maps.
Which style is best? Firstly, think about how the maps will look when you have faded them to
give prominence to your data. If you are having difficulty deciding, we suggest that if you data is
environment-oriented (forests, parks, migration routes of the Yellow Woodpecker, etc.), shaded relief is better.
If your data is not sensitive to landscape, or you are going to display a lot of info in the form of words
and/or charts, then plain relief might be less distracting.
Incidentally, the tiny pimple of land you see sticking out into the Mediterranean in the top-right corner of
the images (not the big pimple further down) is the delta of the Rio Ebro, in Spain. We are based a few
pixels down the coast from there.
