It turns out there's a bit more room to work with than was initially
thought. Here's a link to the first two panels of a four panel set
for the program. The other two panels will be overviews showing the
downtown area and the greater Portland Metro Area (including the
airport). Each will include the locations of interest but perhaps
symbolized as points rather than polygons. Please provide feedback
constructive or otherwise :-)<br>

<div>To clarify, I have started creating a simple split-panel
map using QGIS, it just won't include all the bells and
whistles that have been requested. It will show airport,
conference center, PSU, a few other locations, and major
transportation routes. I'll put out my draft effort by the end
of the weekend. I won't be offended if we decide not to use
it. Some of the maps I recommended were downloaded from the
Travel Portland's website but I'll contact them about
providing printed maps which could save us some time and
money.<br>

My thought - are any of the maps Dave provided available
in a form we can insert into the bag? Obviously for the
PSU map we could print our own I think, but Travel
Portland probably has these in bulk for visitors?<br>
<br>
</div>
I still think there is an opportunity to provide a simple
map in the program to give attendees the overall geography
of the conference (very high level) - I'll try to figure
out an extent and scale later today...<br>

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>

target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wc8hews1ciooypu/AACYoAudEmaAPODVLjZg8zCsa</a><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>
