a map can show direction by....
- the middle longitude line is called the prime meridean. the middle lattitude line is called the equator.
3. the scale... ( the length of the line is usually an inch that represents 100-500 miles) the scale is located towards the bottom on the map.
4. a map can also show direction by a "map key" if it has one
Most maps include a "compass rose," a small compass symbol showing which direction is north (often labeled completely with N, E, S, and W).
The four types of distortion in maps are shape distortion, area distortion, distance distortion, and direction distortion. These distortions occur due to the challenge of transferring a three-dimensional surface onto a two-dimensional map.

A map is a diagram of a place, and depending on the size, there will be a varying amount of detail. For example, a world map will show where different countries are, and the oceans near them. A city map will show the roads and parks and will help you get from one place to another. A compass, on the other hand, simply shows you which direction you are pointing at the moment- North, East, South, or West. When you are walking, for example, you might like to know whether you're headed towards the park, which is North of where yous tarted.

Topographic maps represent the Earth's surface because they show elevation in addition to distance and direction.
distance (miles and km)
An isometry that moves or maps every point of the plane the same distance and direction is a translation, which is one of 4 transformations that can be plotted on the Cartesian plane.

Flat maps that represent a portion of the round earth are called "world maps". These maps use projections to show the Earth's curved surface on a flat surface, with distortions in size, shape, distance, or direction. Popular world maps include the Mercator projection, the Peters projection, and the Winkel Tripel projection.
distance, shape, size, and direction......my human geography teacher also said distance, shape, size, area ... but the last time she said it, she said direction
The part of a map that tells direction
So you can find out the actual distance from point A to point B.
Most maps have a key or legend, a scale to show distances, and a compass rose to indicate direction.
