The Glossary
A map's legend or key explains technical terms and translates symbols used on the map, providing clarity on features such as roads, landmarks, and terrain. Additionally, annotations or insets may offer translations for place names and geographical features in the local language. This information helps users understand the map's context and navigate effectively.
Technical terms on a map of a foreign area may be presented in the local language to ensure accuracy and cultural relevance. These terms often reflect geographical features, administrative divisions, or cultural landmarks that are best understood in their original context. Additionally, using the local language helps maintain the integrity of the information and aids in navigation for speakers of that language. Translations can vary or lose nuances, making the original terms preferable for clarity and authenticity.
The title of a map indicates the subject, and it is found in the legend which also explains all of the map symbols.
The part of the map that explains what the map's symbols mean is called the legend. Besides notating what symbols are included in the map, a map legend also has a device made for measuring distance that shows how many miles to an inch or more.
