Excellent link. Monochrome is best most of the time. I'd add though, that any map-based presentation somehow has to crack the underlying density problem - the fact that there's a lot more measurable stuff in some places (towns) than in others (countryside). I'd guess that varying the colour in two dimensions (maybe hue and intensity) might do it. A logarithmic scale might be helpful too.
