Best Answer

A map is a convenient method for looking at the world in digestible chunks. It may be used for navigation, forplanning, for displaying data etc.

Many people now use sat-nav for navigation. However, a map displays more than just a route. A large area can be read without the detail shrinking to an illegible size.
