Final Project Proposal

-map subject

-reason why this is your pick

-map audience

-type of map you're envisioning

-scope of map (world? Virginia? Dorm room?)

-data specs (note where the data is from, the year, the size/complexity of the dataset, and the apparent accuracy)

-basemap needed for map

-expected production steps (be realistic and calendar focused)

-challenges you perceive

The map subject for my final project will be locations where one could play Pokemon TCG in the states of Maryland and Virginia as well as the District of Columbia. The reason why I chose this is because, I in fact play Pokemon TCG to remind me about the old days and I had difficulty trying to find a proper place to play the game. Currently, I play at the Hobby Works Shop in FairFax Virginia and it took me FOREVER to find that location. The type of map I am envisioning is a standard location map with points and such. The scope would just be of the states MD, VA and DC. The data will be from the following websites   https://sites.google.com/site/virginiapokemon/ https://Pokemon.com and http://www.pojo.com/placestoplay/ptplist.shtml  
For the basemap all I need are basemaps of Virginia, DC and Maryland. States that we've already made maps for so it should be easy. The expect production steps will be pretty simple, gather data, make the map, make it pretty then turn it in. The challenge that I expect is just to see if the location where the Pokemon TCG is being play is still active!
