The azimuthal projection map shows true directions from a central point. In this type of projection, distances and angles are preserved along radials emanating from the center, making it useful for navigation and certain geographical analyses. However, it distorts other properties such as area and shape away from the center point.

What map device tells the reader the true direction?
A compass rose is the map device that indicates true directions on a map. It typically shows the cardinal directions—north, south, east, and west—along with their intermediate points. By aligning the compass rose with the Earth's magnetic field or true north, readers can accurately determine directions.
What type of map shows distortion increase with distance from the poles?
Polar Projections
What is the map line called that shows constant compass directions?
Conformal
Why is the Mercator map still use today?
because it shows the directions accurately
Does an equal-area map or a mercator map show the true size of Australia?
A equal-area map shows the "true" size of Australia.
What is a feature of a map that shows you how the map is placed in relationship to true north?
A compass rose is a feature on a map that indicates the orientation of the map with respect to true north. It typically shows the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and sometimes intermediate directions. This helps users understand which direction is north on the map.
What shows you the directions on a map?
Compass Rose
What is the part of a map that shows directions?
A LEDGER
What of the following map elements is used to show cardinal directions on a map?
The feature that shows the cardinal directions on a map is called the compass rose.
What shows the cardinal directions or the intermediate directions on a map?
A compass rose shows the cardinal directions (north, east, south, west) and the intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest) on a map. It helps orientate the map and indicate specific locations in relation to these directions.
Map projection that shows true direction?
yes map projection shows true direction
Which device sHow is the direction on a map?
A compass rose shows the directions on a map.
What is a tool that shows directions on a map?
there is a compass rose and a legend that shows what a symbol means.
What kind of map the true shapes of continents?
A map that accurately depicts the true shapes of continents is called an equal-area map, such as the Mollweide or Goode's Homolosine projections. These projections aim to minimize distortion in area, allowing for a more accurate representation of continents relative to each other.
What type of map shows distortion increase with distance from the poles?
Polar Projections
What is the map line called that shows constant compass directions?
Conformal
What is a standard map show cardinal direction?
A standard map typically shows cardinal directions, with north at the top, south at the bottom, east on the right, and west on the left. These directions help orientate readers and indicate which way is which on the map.
