How to read a map?

Reading a map requires understanding various symbols, lines, and colors that represent different features such as roads, cities, bodies of water, and topographical elements. Start by identifying the key (usually found in a corner of the map) to understand what each symbol means. Pay attention to the compass rose to determine directions, and refer to the scale to understand distances. Use grid lines or coordinates to pinpoint locations accurately. Practice interpreting maps by exploring different types and scales to become more familiar with reading and navigating them effectively.
