This detailed manual explains how the results of an analysis can be visualised in a thematic map. We assume the existence of different data or analysis results and show how maps can be created using ArcMap (version 10.3). As datasets we use the charging stations (a point theme) and the results of the reachability analysis (a polygon theme) at municipal level from our case study on electro mobility. We combine those on a background map and illustrate what elements are part of a map and which elements are used. Also we explain what signatures or colour gradations can be used. The result - a combination of an overview and a detailed map - you can see here.
