The map we had to make today was rather challenging to me not because of technological challenges (I had two devices on me to save the effort of switching), but rather error on my own part. The places mentioned on the reading are very old, and thus their names have changed. However, that was not the biggest error that occurred while trying to make this map. The best error was trying to map the places accurately after looking at them. It took several minutes trying to plot every place and even then they were not as accurate as I hoped it would be. I have a new found respect for map makers.
