[IP4-2-3-3] Readability

Readability refers to the content of a map being presented clearly enough that the content can be perceived and understood by the user. This includes legibility, e.g. whether the text of a label is large enough to be read and has enough contrast to the background to be easily perceivable. Additionally, readability has a broader meaning that explains whether a product as a whole is simple enough to be understood and not too complex that essential information can be overlooked by the user.
