First of all, nice lines! It's so much easier to see the places they connect to than in most other maps where direct lines all seem to overlap. Also, great job on the specs of each manufacturing facility; they are well laid-out and clearly show what is going on at each location. If I were to suggest anything to add, it would be to pick a few case studies of the markets of Ford (not all of them, since there seem to be quite a lot) and compare Ford's performance sales-wise in each region to each other, and, perhaps, to Ford's competitors. Your manufacturing data is so good that it seems kind of jarring that there isn't any similar treatment of the market data. Other than that though, great map!
Great map! First, the title "Ford's Drive Around the World" is very impressive. It will be a big help for the readers to understand what kind of company you reserched at a glance. Also, the complicated lines and manufacturing data show how hard you worked on your map, and let the readers know precise and lots of information about the Ford. Very good job!
I have to agree with Kaoru that the title, "Ford's Drive Around the World" was very clever and a great intro to what it is you are mapping out. I really like the branching off of the main line to a country, as it shows Ford's approach to where their outsourcing/marketing interconnections works off of each other.
The only suggestion I would have would be using Icons with the points of interest for supplying and Marketing, rather than just one.
