They were horrified as there were isolated teams who needed the plan to work accordingly. I thought of using Google My Google Maps. You wouldn't believe me- they were totally amazed by the output and the civil engineer persuaded me to learn mapping skills. They even wanted the map printed on a big hoarding board for attenders.
