To relate the ground to a map, you use a process called map reading or navigation, which involves identifying key reference points and using scale and orientation. By comparing physical landmarks or features in the environment with their representations on the map, you can determine your location and direction. Additionally, utilizing tools like a compass or GPS can enhance accuracy in aligning the map with the ground. This process helps in understanding spatial relationships and navigating effectively.

On a 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm on the ground. So if you walked 175,000 centimetres on the ground, you would have moved 1 centimetre on your map.
That is the scale of that map.

Maps need a scale so that people can see how far things are apart on the map and relate this distance to real distances on the ground.
