		+	==Introduction==
		+	Map building, for me is an iterative process. I know early on how I want a map to look, I will have perhaps collected a set of reference images or photographs and spent some time imagining how the final map might appear.
		+
		+	I know that if I iterate through the process of gradual improvements I will eventually reach the final map. I never expect version 1 to be nice or pretty or workable, but I expect that through constantly adding, removing and refining it will be as intended.
		+
		+	Part of the process is looking, at each stage for ways to improve the map.
