Mappers Blog: Some simple measures to meet the ISOM2000 in regard of legibility

To meet the ISOM2000 in regard of legibility it is might be worth to add some extra symbols to your set. Used during the drawing, they easily can be removed for the final version.
  1. Minimal objects as point features (here: impassable cliff, passable rock face and marsh) to avoid  too small objects.
  2. Visual buffers for minimal gaps (pink: between buffered objects, green: between a buffered object an object of the same color
  3. Meter for minimal contour detail. 
  4. Meter for minimal knoll (if smaller, replace with small knoll or elongated knoll)

How much mm do you use for pink and green buffer zones in your example ?

According to the ISOM2000 the minimal gap between two objects having the same color (brown or black) may not be smaller than 0.15mm. Pink therefore is 0.15mm, green is 0.08mm

Ok, thanks for replay. Isn't it other way round ? Pink - 0.08 and green 0.15 ? Because green is used to measure distance to the object of the same color (without buffer) but pink to measure distance to the other object with pink/green buffer around and pink rings should not overlap ?

Yes, indeed is the other way around.
