PRINCIPLES
Design Guidelines are based on → location map design of the German map shop. Thus they also follow the widespread locator maps design (→ SVG locator maps (location map scheme)). Their design principles (→ design guidelines) continue to be a basis for derived administrative maps. It's recommended to take one of the latter locator maps as a basis, to derive new administrative maps. Textstyle is supposed to follow the styles presented in the template SVG-file above. Colors should be directly picked from the maps shown below. Please be aware that this guide is only a recommendation. It's not an inevitable law!
