It's a fine looking map, and has good captions. There's no more time to 
do much more work on it. So it's fine for the coming event.

But the problem I see, is that your guests are on foot and in cars. They 
need to see the actual walkways and streets, so they can follow them, to 
get from point to point. The photos of trees *block view of those 
streets and walkways*. So this map doesn't show parts of them. So they 
don't see a clear path, the paths that are on the ground in front of 
them. Solution? Cut and paste on the image, pieces of road.

Smaller issues. The intersection of Marconi Blvd and Marconi Rd might 
include a caption: "to Rt. 18". You might include a marker on the map 
pointing to "North" (not so useful in New Jersey). Will dealers be in 
"exhibits" or "consignment"? You don't show "the gate" from the parking 
area, it's a common point of reference. Will the "guard shack" be used 
for any purpose at this event? It's not named.

And an odd thing: calling the section of 9001 "dining room" may make 
visitors think it's a place where you *eat*. My memory is faulty, but 
wasn't that area called other things like "the ballroom"? Or call it 
nothing, but leave the rectangle mark, for this map. This is a judgement 
call.

These are suggestions, not complaints. I'm not being "negative". There 
may be no time for changes, that's fine. There's always another event 
that needs a map, you'll be informed about use of this map, and you can 
improve it.
