If you mean the appearance, I have the following recommendation.
1. choose an ultramodern font, san-serif, something like this http://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/bl...02/moderna.png
2. don't forget to use same font on scale
-that's all you need to stop it looking like a word document cut-and-paste! I love the orange scale and north arrow by the way - very nice.
