Landmark Labeling Techniques

Landmarks are the unsung heroes of labeling. They help guide users to their destination, even when the map gets lost. But what makes for a good landmark?

Geometric Landmarks

Visual Identifiers for when you want to get fancy.

Syntactical Landmarks

Don't be a slave to geometry. Sometimes, it's all about using words. Like, literally. Use words that make sense in context, and don't be afraid to get a little creative with font sizes and styles.

Semantics is Key

Other Landmarks

And then, there's... well, there's everything else. Like, who needs labels when you have... labeling by association?
