 Maps:
-help us get from place to place (directions).
-help us understand our surrounding/ location.
-show us where we are.
-show distances.
-***present all kinds of data (population/ education/ resources/ wealth distribution...)
planning
-we can use maps to plan roads and cities.
-we can see changes throughout history in countries/ cities/ landscape.
-we can use them to predict/ show weather pattern.

In another way, Maps:
-show directions/ distances/ locations.
-help us understand our surroundings.
-are used to plan roads/ cities
***DATA!!!
-are used to present data in a visual way (population/ education/ resources/ wealth distribution...)
