Author Response

Thanks for the suggested long list of improvements of the English.

All the suggestions have been implemented.


The suggestion of a possible variation of the layout of maps of Figures 16, 18 and 21 by adopting the so-called Proportional Symbol rendering type was ignored because the appearance of the maps is not the paper’s focus.

Geo-viewers on the market place allow the production of maps according to pre-defined personalized styles, so the System Manager may produce the same map in several different styles.

Reviewer 4 Report

The paper is highly improved with respect to the previous version (withdrawn by the authors). I recommend to carefully read the paper and to check the language with a native speaker.

I have only a minor comment: at line 146, please update the statistics according to the values available on the site the authors have cited.



Author Response

The statistics have been updated.

This manuscript is a resubmission of an earlier submission. The following is a list of the peer review reports and author responses from that submission.
