2  It preserves accurate compass direction wherever you are.  It is used for ship navigation.  It distorts the area of landmasses relative to each other.

3  It keeps the sizes of the continents accurate.  Used for comparing sizes.

4  A map thought up in someone’s head.  Used for directions.

5  Dot maps show an amount of something as a dot.  Used for calculations and research.  Helps to realize where something is concentrated.

6  Reference-Shows reference information for a particular place, making it useful to find landmarks and navigate.  Thematic-Displays one or more variables, like population and income level within a specific area.  Choropleth-Uses tones or colors to represent spatial data as average values per unit area.  Preference-Displays an individual’s preferences in an area.  Cartograms-transforms space such that the political unit with the greatest value will be the biggest.

7  Relative Distance-5 minutes to the main gate, 239 steps to the hotel.  Longitude- distance east or west of the prime meridian  Latitude- distance north or south of the equator  Absolute Distance-Downtown Disney is 7 miles from Magic Kingdom.  Site-The center of the Magic Kingdom theme park is at latitude 28.42, longitude-81.5812.  Situation- When diving, there is water in every direction.
