Flat maps can show roads, streets, and towns.
Advantages: Globes provide a more accurate representation of the Earth's shape, distances, and sizes compared to flat maps. They are useful for teaching geography and understanding the concept of Earth as a 3D object. Disadvantages: Globes are not as portable or easy to store as flat maps. They can also be expensive and may not show as much detail or specific information as certain types of maps.
When maps lie flat, they lie because they aren't accurate representations of earth. It means all maps have some distortion- when put flat, it distorts the shape of the land because the earth is actually a sphere.
Two-dimensional maps of Earth have distortions because they attempt to represent a three-dimensional surface (the Earth) on a flat plane. This distortion occurs due to the challenge of converting a curved surface onto a flat surface. Different map projections have different advantages and trade-offs in terms of preserving features like shape, area, distance, or direction.
Road maps allowed us to plot our course across an area and find the shortest route from a to b
B/c maps are flat, andthe Earth is round. You can't make a perfect image of a round object on a flat surface.

Flat maps were drawn that way, because no one knew that the earth was round, until after Christopher Colombus.
One advantage to using a globe is that you can more accurately determine distances than you can with a flat map. Flat maps distort the spherical surface and that distortion can be significant over long distances.

it does not show in the 3D it flat

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.
Flat maps are used because it helps u determine where u at and hot u go somewhere.
