If you understand what I'm doing, you'll be able to zip through the various steps pretty quickly. The text is fairly wordy because I'm explaining basic procedures for inexperienced users. If you're a reasonably experienced Inkscape user, there's really nothing here that you couldn't figure out on your own, but I hope the tutorial might serve as a guideline with a few pointers to help you along. If you're still learning the basics, I'd suggest watching a few Youtube videos first. use the Layers panel to add layers, show and hide layers, and adjust opacity.use the Align & Distribute panel to align objects to the page and to each other.use the Fill and Stroke panel to add/remove/change fill colours, and set stroke width and style.move nodes with the Node tool and change node types.draw shapes like Circles and Rectangles.

If you can do everything in the list below, you'll be fine. You don't need any kind of high-level skills to follow along, but you do need to understand the basics. If you're an absolute beginner, on the other hand, with no experience whatsoever, you may manage it, but it'll probably be a struggle. I've written it with new-ish users in mind. If you're a relatively new Inkscape user, you should still be able to complete the tutorial without any problems. Part Fourteen - Adding texture and finishing up.

Part Thirteen - Map title, compass and scale.
