At first I did not not feel very confident when trying to answer this question because I could not remember the method involved when converting scale. I was able to interpret the question and I understood what it required; however, I could not recall the process involved in reaching the answer. After trying a few different methods and giving it some thought, I remembered what to do. I had learnt how to answer these questions in high school geography and I still had the knowledge, but I just had to
Land Surveying has been around for thousands of years and has an impact on everyday life. From drawing maps to designing cities with the efficient layouts surveyors effect everybody in one way or another. Surveying as any profession has had its stars as well. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln were all surveyors before becoming men of power. Of course technology from their time has advanced and is actually one of the fastest advancing fields in the world. The men who founded
1.) Why does Baudrillard discuss Borges’s map? Borges’s map was meant to represent the worlds insistence to recreate the things that we see in exact detail, yet he uses the tale to point out the fact that todays society has redefined images and objects thanks to mass media, confusing reality with that of the representation. He states that “the map precedes the territory” which I take to mean that the medium precedes the message. More so, that the copy of an image, the representation, precedes the
discusses the many ways that maps have advanced over centuries. Without the satellites and technology that we have today, maps were first created from educated guesses. Some people thought the Earth was flat. Others believed that the universe revolved around the Earth. Although maps have not always had the accuracy that they do today, they have still played a large role in how we solve problems, especially when it comes to crime and public health. The latitude and longitude on a map may be able to tell

isolate the effect of YAH maps in way finding, since personal characteristic, past experience of using YAH maps, educational background and familiarity with the building might have influence the results. Therefore, the participant answered some question related to these factors. There is opportunity to extend the current study by examining the questions outlined above, although this is beyond the scope of this investigation. 1.1 Discussion- experiment one: How useful are YAH maps in solving a spatial
Physical maps show governmental boundaries, but also show the physical features, terrain and landforms, such as mountains, deserts, lakes, rivers, and forests. The map is shaded according to the landforms and type of terrain. 2. Purpose (What is it used for and who might use it-certain occupation, specific group etc?) The purpose of physical maps is to illustrate the landforms and physical features. 3. Sample (Copy and paste a roughly 2-3 inch example of this type of map here.)

You need to keep the different stories separated on different map and the maps should be to scale. Most officers and supervisors are very comfortable with point or pin maps, most of the request you get for maps will be for these types of maps. (Paynich & Hill, 2014) You should always remember scale and multiple points as key is to understanding and making your audience understand your pins maps. Showing multiple points on a map a small scale can just show there is a lot of crime. (Paynich &
characteristics of humans and human activities. Cartographers use maps in order to display human geography and all of the characteristics behind it. Many people rely on maps on a day to day basis. These visual aids are used for reference tools, communication tools, and data. Cartographers are precise with the information displayed in order to refer/communicate data accurately. A thematic map is a map that communicates this data. Thematic maps can be broken down into subparts: dot distribution, proportional
