Pedestrian map development

As walking becomes more popular as a form of exercise and transportation, the development of community walking maps becomes more important to allow people to fulfill their health, recreation and travel goals more effectively.

This guide proposes a process by which different types of walking maps can be developed in a way that best serves the needs of the individual walker and the interests of the community. These needs and interests include tourism, recreation, health benefits, commercial, historical commemoration and as a means of transportation.
