Map Literacy

Map literacy is the ability to read, interpret, and use maps effectively to understand spatial information. It involves recognizing symbols, scales, directions, and other map features to navigate or analyze geographic areas. Being map literate allows you to understand how different locations relate to each other, plan routes, and grasp spatial patterns. Essentially, it’s a skill that helps you translate a two-dimensional drawing into real-world understanding, making it easier to navigate unfamiliar places, make informed decisions about geography, and communicate spatial information clearly.
