General Map Viewer: Fill & Download for Free

That's a broad question, regarding mapping. Assuming you are referring to digital mapping, scale is adjusted to maximize the desired detail, minimizing map clutter, all while maximizing the digital map's performance.Thus, if your map is a USA road network used for routing, map scale might be adjusted to accommodate more regional route generation. If your map is an imagery-based agriculture map, the scale map be adjusted to reflect the best resolution of the imagery used as a background map. Fuzzy imagery at the extreme zoom levels is not very helpful.Digital map scales and zoom levels are also used to determine what map layers appear and disappear at certain scales. ZIP codes, for instance, are not very visually useful at a full USA wide scale. Scale controls may prevent ZIP codes from appearing until the map is zoomed into to a specific level. City neighborhood names will show up only when the user zooms into city level detail. This map process is called generalization.Most online maps that the casual user gets for free or at low cost, are designed to display a wide variety of backgrounds, map layers, and point-of-interest data. Scale must be carefully considered and assigned in a way that satisfies the majority of map viewers. Perhaps you require a custom map?

In 2012 a Fairleigh Dickinson University survey reported that Fox News viewers were less informed about current events than people who didn't follow the news at all. The survey had asked current events questions (like "Which party has the most seats in the House of Representatives") and also asked what source of news people followed. The Fox viewers' current events scores were the in the basement. This finding was immediately trumpeted by the liberal media—by Fox, not so much—and has since become known as the Fox News effect. It conjures the image of Fox News as a black hole that sucks facts out of viewers' heads.I have done similar surveys, both of current events and more general knowledge. In my research too, Fox News viewers scored the lowest of over 30 popular news sources (though Fox viewers did at least score better than those saying they didn't follow the news). The chart’s horizontal black lines with tick marks indicate the margins of statistical error. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, a news satire, had the best-informed viewers.Stereotypes aside, it's not that Fox News viewers live in a bubble and get all their news from that one source. The average Fox viewer listed 4.5 other source of news they regularly followed. Many also got news from the major broadcast networks, Facebook, and the liberal news channel MSNBC. Nevertheless those who listed Fox News as one of their news sources had overall lower levels of knowledge on the factual questions. Fox viewers were less likely to know the capital of Canada, the religion of the Dalai Lama, or the size of the Federal budget. They couldn't find South Carolina on map or name the second digit of pi.The Fox News effect is a correlation. It doesn't prove that watching Fox News causes people to be ill-informed.Causes are much trickier to establish. I will give my guesses (along with the warning that they're only guesses). The first thing to realize is that every news medium has its own audience demographics. It's no secret to advertisers that the average Fox News viewer has less formal education and income than the average New York Times reader.The Times is urban and urbane; Fox is small-town/suburban and populist. Fox competes directly against hundreds of other cable channels and has established a specialized niche in its media ecology. Fox trades in stories about the venality of big government, liberal overreach, and little-guy heroes of the heartland. A large share of Fox stories deftly push emotional buttons (lest the viewer push the buttons on his or her remote…)This format has been successful, but it has drawbacks. There's a lot that goes on in the world that doesn't easily fit the Fox template. There are important stories that don't make anyone angry, prove liberals are evil, or otherwise carry an emotional punch. Fox viewers get less of them. Fox News is like an all you-can-eat buffet, serving up red meat. A more balanced diet might be healthier in the long run.
