Labeling Clues
« on: March 28, 2014, 11:27:14 AM »
Anyone have a good way to label clues?

Labeling is fine if its a small word like print, shoe, bottle but I have a hard time trying to figure out how to word a label so it will show on the map but not be so big that it overtake the area. One example is last night we had a search and through mass calling we have several sightings.  To show the pattern on the map I labeled them "time sighting" (ie 1820 sighting) but that was a little much for the map. If I abbreviate them we risk members not knowing what the clue symbol means or when it was spotted.

Thanks ahead of time!
