Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
it can show you some state borders in the west.
No, its numbers that show where somewhere is... For example, the center of London is:Latitude = 51.5005, Longitude = -0.1248
Example? The Earth is not flat, so maps can rather accurately show distance or shape. The simple fact that the Earth is round means perfect squares for latitude and longitude would in essence mean the distortion of shape, hence why on some maps you see the stretching out of the poles (as this is where the latitude lines converge). In essence the shape of the Earth means latitude and longitude cannot be perfect squares. Hope this is what you meant by your question.
lines of latitude
latitude and longitude
longitude
They show information on a mapby showing lines of latitude and longitude
coordinates
Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.

Not all maps show latitude and longitude. On those that do some have horizontal lines indicating where lines of latitude lie, and on the right and left margins of the map these lines will have the latitude they represent marked. Then on some maps the lines are missing but the notations in the margin show where the lined of latitude should be.
