This part of a map is called the legend
The part of the map that contains information on what the symbols mean is called the key or the legend. Often, modern maps that we look at online don't have this essential part of the map, since these maps are easier to look at and understand than paper maps made earlier.
A legend describes the meaning of lines, symbols and colours used on the map.
The legend of the map also contains important information and all of the thematic symbols of the map. Symbol that need no explanation, or do not coincide with the theme of the map, are normally omitted from the map legend. Thematic symbols directly represent the maps theme and should stand out. Hope this helps!! :-)
The aleant ocean is the world that is the symbols
In the Google Maps road symbols legend, you can find information about the different symbols used to represent various types of roads, such as highways, streets, and freeways. This legend helps users understand the meaning of each symbol on the map.
