If details are needed (larger) smaller or fewer details (small)


What is the difference between plans and maps?

a plan generally works using a smaller scale while a map uses a larger scale as it generally covers larger areas. a plan is a true scale scale representation while a map is drawn such that some features on it cannot be drawn to scale. on a map many features are represented as symblos and generalization is carried out reasulting in changes in scale and displacement of features. e.g on a 1:1 million map, rivers and roads may be shown but they cannot be drawn to scale. a 5m road would be 0.005mm wide if drawn according to scale. plans tend to be for a single or few applications while maps cover a large vary of uses e.g in exploration, military, reacreation, geological, navigation e.t.c


How is a small scale maps and large scale maps similar?

extreme swagger is the apparent answer. Just kidding. Large scale maps are usually used for a bigger city to show more of a general space. On the other hand smaller scales are used for more detail

What is the difference between maps sketches diagrams photographs plans?

In terms of cartography: Sketch (maps): Roughly drawn maps which may be inaccurate but can be quickly created. Maps: Should be accurate. Can be any scale. Features are drawn in their true position (within limitations of scale). Can be topographic; thematic; political etc. Diagrams: a cross-section etc. (aerial) Photograph: can look accurate but will be at different scales in various parts of the map because of distance from camera and pitch & yaw of aircraft. Plans: very Large Scale maps showing lots of detail. maybe of a single site.
