I really like this map because it is 3-D. You can tell what the buildings actually look like, what land features/sidewalks/parking lots are around them, and all of the surrounding roads are labeled. It is also very aesthetically appealing and would make me want to visit the campus if I were comparing colleges.

This is a map of Greece that uses many different fonts to label different features such as oceans, cities, and islands. I picked it because since parts of it are not in English, the different fonts make it easier to be able to tell which features are cities vs. an island, etc.

This is a map of the average temperatures of Russia in January in degrees Celsius. This map does not use a standard map projection that shows all of the continents, but rather is a top view of the earth to provide a better angle view of Russia.
