: like I'm actually walking around a real place. So, I guess I'm saying that
: a sense of authenticity is an important aspect of map design in my book.
: How important is this to other people?
Very much so to me.
Also, my take on the "for yourself" or "for other people" debate is, as usual, "yes". A good map should do both, with preference given to yourself in case of conflicts (for aesthetic/design issues that is; if other people have aesthetic/design complaints, giving preference to your own apathy or laziness is not good. It'd be better to try to please those people if you can. However, if there's something you did by design and you like it but other people don't, tough for them).
