Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the top direction if it is not marked on the map?
By default, the top of any standard map always represents North, the bottom represents South, the right is East, and the left is West.
How do I calculate the total distance of a trip with multiple stops?
Simply add the distance from the start to the first stop, the distance between the first and second stop, and so on, to get the total distance.
Why do we use scales on maps?
Scales help us represent very large real distances, like kilometers, in smaller, manageable sizes on paper, like centimeters.
