ReplyDeleteit is important for people to be able to know how to read maps because maps help u navigate from places you don't know when you get lost. maps are used to find out how to get somewhere, to look over a particular state or country, or also to show you where things are. i think that tourists or geographers may use maps because they are visiting new places they don't know very well or at all.
ReplyDelete1) It is important for people to be able to read maps so that they know how to get around and save time rather than travelling aimlessly.

It is important to be able to read maps because if you are lost maps help you to firstly find out where you are but also help you to know where to go next. Maps are used for finding out where to get to and the shortest route possible... As the crow flys. They might be useful to tourists who can't speak the countries language as they use symbols.

I think that it is important for people to be able to read maps because by studying and investigating different maps from different locations, future geographers can then understand more about the economical, social and political features of a particular country, city, community or neighbourhood.
ReplyDeleteA map can be used for many different purposes such as examining a local area in a province, state, or prefecture of a certain country. Maps can also be used for directing yourself or other people to or around different locations.
Drivers, hikers and geographers might be the sort of people that use maps regularly in their everyday lives.

ReplyDeleteWhy is it important for people to be able to read maps?
ReplyDeleteIt is important for people to be able to read maps as you can learn about a specific location, including information about its land form, bodies of water and nature resources. Using a map you can visualise in your mind what the place looks like that you are going to, and you can see what landmarks and features you will pass on the way to your destination. Maps help you to know whether you are going in the right direction to arrive at your destination safely and quickly.
What are maps used for and who might use them regularly?
A map can be used for many different purposes. It can be used to find out how to get somewhere, to look over a particular state or country, or to show you where things are. Maps are also used to display both cultural and physical features of the environment. People who might use maps regularly are pilots, taxi, truck drivers and ship captains. A ship captain for example will use maps to safely navigate and keep from running into shoals and headlands and to find safe harbours; they will usually use nautical charts. Taxi/Truck drivers will use maps to navigate through streets; therefore they will use city street maps.
It is important to be able to read and use maps as this will allow you to manually navigate yourself instead of relying on a SatNav. For example if your SatNav breaks down and you are in a place you are not familiar with then you can use a map to find your bearings and navigate yourself to where you want to go.
ReplyDeleteMaps are used to layout an area of land by using simple and universal signs to illustrate the surrounding buildings or geographical features. They are also used for navigation purposes.
