:I've only created one map so far that was requested. Mostly I've been focusing on other images.
{{summarization|1=
:There was one problem I ran into in the process of making the map, which was '''incompatible map scales'''. One map layer would have one scale, and another map layer would be on a smaller or larger scale, making the layers not line up. The smaller layer would be teeny tiny and I would need to zoom in to see it. And zoom out to see the larger layer. I couldn't find of a way to change the scale/size of the layers so that they would match up. I don't know if there even is a way? Maybe the tutorial needs a lesson on working with vector layers, how to change their colors, how to get '''labels to show up''' in the '''right size and the right spot''', etc. -[[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 04:50, 20 July 2011 (UTC)topo

::Abstract: 1. incompatible map scales of layers, tips ? ; 2. labels don't show up, wrong size, tips ? [[User:Yug|Yug]] [[User talk:Yug|<small><font style="color:green;">(talk)</font></small>]] 10:13, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::MissMJ, 2 questions :
::1. can you upload a screenshoot of your incompatible map scales, so I understand better. By example : was the layer 1's USA bigger than the layer2's USA, OR was the lines widths of one layer large enough (layer scale issue), and lines widths of layer2 too small and not visible (style issue).
::2. Why didn't you include a topographic background ? (PNG or SVG). -> I have to complete Lesson 3#Raster to vector tutorial. [[User:Yug|Yug]] [[User talk:Yug|<small><font style="color:green;">(talk)</font></small>]] 10:13, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
