BBC news- 'remoteness means that internet and mobile phone communications remain erratic, but this does not seem to bother the locals'
PHOTOGRAPHS- less detailed, visual, clear, small scale
COUNTY MAP- simple, easy, relative locations
OS MAPS- very detailed
PIE CHARTS- poor method as if there is too much data so it becomes unclear. If categories are uneven or overlapping, it becomes biased and confusing
LAND REGISTRY HOUSE PRICE- e.g right move, easy to understand, individual house prices not average
SATELLITE IMAGES- unclear, shows functions of buildings e.g primary schools, shows sense of community, less obvious house types
OS MAPS- clear colour variations, clear housing types and sizes. Can determine the people that live there. Better at determining human geography
