The scale on the map shows you how to relate distance on the map to real distance.
The axes (latitude and longitude) are used to determine the location of a place or thing on the map.

To measure a distance on a map that exceeds its length, you can use a piece of string or a flexible measuring tool to trace the route along the map. Mark where the string overlaps and then measure the length of the string using a ruler. Alternatively, if the map has a scale, you can calculate the distance in segments, measuring each segment separately and then summing them up. This way, you can accurately determine the total distance despite the map's limitations.
You can determine the orientation of a map by looking for the compass rose, which indicates the directions (north, east, south, west). Another way is to find landmarks or features on the map that you can identify with real-world locations to determine which way is north.
The scale of a map indicates the relationship of actual distances to lengths measured on the map.

You can determine the direction on a map without a compass rose by using cardinal direction.
The critical rule for reading a map to determine grid coordinates is to first determine the longitude (vertical lines) and then the latitude (horizontal lines) on the map that intersect at the point of interest. The grid coordinates are then expressed as a combination of the longitude and latitude lines.
A compass rose on a map indicates the direction of north, which helps the user orient themselves and determine the cardinal directions. This is important for navigation and understanding the layout of the map in relation to physical landmarks or destinations.
latitude longitude
The axes (latitude and longitude) are used to determine the location of a place or thing on the map.
You would use a protractor or a compass to determine a grid azimuth on a map. These tools help you measure the angle between a grid line and the north direction on the map, providing the azimuth reading.

The height of the land, and the scale of the map
A scale, usually in the corners, is used to determine distances on a map. It shows how much the map has been scaled down from the actual size of the place. For example, if the scale read 1cm = 150km, you would interpret that for every Centimeter on the map, 150 km is covered
