Map skill reflection


Click here for the link to my project

Something I find easy about basic map skills is a compass rose and key. The compass rose is simple and easy because have learned it already and I've known how to do it for a while now. I also use the acronym never eat soggy waffles to remember which direction is which. The key is easy because it's pretty simple and self explanatory. Something that I struggle with is longitude and latitude. It's confusing for me because sometimes it's hard to estimate what point it's at if the range between 2 lines is long, like 0-70. Basic map skills are necessary because in life you may not always have your phone or have internet to use google maps to find a place to go, so you might have to use a paper map to get somewhere. WIthout basic map skills you can't find spots on a map. You can't read maps. You can't use a paper map at all to find points. If you didn't know basic map skills and don't have access to an online map, you won't be able to anywhere.
