•A map helps us to find the shortest route between two places and to avoid getting lost along the way•Where something is in relation to another place•Ex. atlas or road map
•A map can depict the distribution of human activities or physical features and why they are distributed that way

A ratio or fraction:This shows the numerical ratio between
distances on the map and Earth’s surface.1:24,000 or 1/24,000 means that 1 unit
(usually an inch) on the map represents 24,000 of the same unit on the ground.
This is also called the RF scale or representative fraction.

Maps have four properties. When you take a round globe and “flatten” it, one or more of these properties will be “distorted.”
The properties of maps include:
scale
distance
area
direction
