Different types of maps have different uses.
Tourist maps, for example, have signs (标志) to
show places of interest in an area. When tourists
read these maps, it is easy for them to find where
to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for
them to go and find their ways to these places. |
 |
Road maps show large areas so that people can
plan long journeys. Different types of roads are
given different numbers. For example, if you want
to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621
Road and keep looking at the road signs. |
 |
Distribution maps (分布图) use colors or signs to
show facts about an area. For example, where
different languages are spoken, how many people
live in an area, how cold and hot some places are,
or whether a place is short of water. |
 |
Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight
lines to show everything. This is easy for people
to read. Trains are fast. People don't have to think
about small places they go past. They just need to
know the two ends of their trips. |
