Thanks everyone -- all great suggestions!<br>
<br>
The challenge: not enough space.<br>
<br>
It has been suggested that I attempt to squeeze approx. 45 square
miles of geographic space into two, 4.5" W x 3.825" H (let's say
4.25" W to be conservative) page spaces and call out restaurants,
hotels, places of interest, streets, light rail, PSU buildings and
more. Simply put, that's not going to happen. There's just not
enough room for it all.<br>
<br>
The solution: more than one map.<br>
<br>
There are already some great maps of the Portland area that are
freely available and show all the requested features. I think we
should include some of these existing maps in conference packets and
embed a stripped down schematic-type map with a few important
locations in the small panels described above. That would give folks
quick access to some essential information but the ability to get
specifics if they want / need them.<br>
<br>
Here's a link to the collection of good existing maps:<br>

<br>
I recommend including these in the packets:<br>
<br>
pdx-city-center-map.pdf - general transportation / lodging<br>
pvm-map.pdf - things to do and traveler information<br>
psu-campus-map.pdf - umm... the PSU campus<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>

No that's great - depending on scale World Forestry Center might
be tough, but if it fits, awesome... <br>
<br>
We should also show the MAX line with arrows that point towards
the Airport, and if WFC doesn't FIT, show that direction with an
arrow too...<br>

you have two facing pages to work with, but you have to
