Colored Circle map

The URL is http://www.sacmeq.org/statplanet/mapmaker/seychelles/StatPlanet.html


This is an interactive map of Seychelles and the school and the number of students attending those schools. Seychelles are a small set of islands located off the east coast of Africa. Many people do not even know this country even exists and it was not on the world map until 1997. This map includes a legend demonstrating the colors and what they represents there is also a statistics bar that have a bunch of statistics about the students that attend school there. It looks like with this map up is north has to be assumed since there isn't a compass. The site didn't state what projection it is. But this is a nice map of an area that is known by few. This is a colored circle map because it uses circles to represent a point and designate different ranges by color.
