Why Use A Map?
-
Feb 12, 2008 - 4:26:18 PM
Some people may ask, "Why should I use a map?" There are other ways of finding out how to get to where I am going such as using directions given by someone else. The reason why a person should consider using a map when charting out their course from one point to the next is that, generally speaking, maps are more reliable then basic directions. The reason for this is that often time's directions use landmarks as guides. If that landmark no longer exists, or if the person following directions did not follow them properly, they may never find the landmark indicated in the directions and become completely lost, not knowing where he or she is and how to get back to where he or she needs to go.
