For one thing maps are something you carry with you when you are traveling. You can simply keep a map in your pocket or bag get it out when you need it and fold it into a nice tight package when you don't. A globe would have to be very big to be useful under most circumstances and would be a haste to Cary around.
Maps are typically more informative than globes because they can display larger areas in greater detail. Maps can show specific information such as roads, cities, and topographical features more clearly than globes, which can sometimes distort the shapes of land masses and distances. Additionally, maps can be updated more easily with current information than globes can.
Globes are much more realistic and accurate than flat maps.
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
because they show more detail
Maps are more useful than globes for studying small areas on the Earth's surface because maps can provide detailed and zoomed-in information that can be easily accessed and analyzed. Maps can show specific features, landmarks, and boundaries of a small area with higher precision and clarity compared to a globe which may not offer the same level of detailed information for a specific location. Additionally, maps are more portable and can be easily customized to focus on a particular area of interest.
A globe may show the earth without the distortion found in paper maps, but it is easier to fold a paper map and put it into your rucksack when outdoors. Also, paper maps are easier to reprint to show the changes that have occurred since the last map survey - usually by satellite imaging surveys, nowadays.
Globes are inconvenient and hard to work with. Geographers (and other people) sacrifice accuracy for convenience by using a two-dimensional projection which is more portable.
I need to assume you mean a flat map because a globe is a map or as theFreeDictionary.com says: a sphere on which a map (especially of the earth) is represented. When demonstrating airline flight patterns globes are definitely more useful. The reason is because flat maps are not as accurate as globes in true distance and that is what is being demonstrated in the flight pattern example. If you have ever seen flight patterns on a flat map you will notice that they are curved. This seems like they are going farther than they need to, but they are actually going a shorter distance and taking into account the curvature of the Earth.
There are many pros and cons to maps and globes. Globes are the most accurate way to represent the earth. If your using a map it depends on what kind of map projection you are using. Some of the three most common map projections are : Conic:............fartic:.............. Flat plane:.................................... Cylindrical: Pro: Great for.............. pro: Great for....................... Pro: Great for navigators showing long areas....... showing true direction...

List the situation in which the globe is far more useful than maps
map is more useful than a globe because it is more convenient to find a place in a map instead of a globe which is like a ball in shape.Plus in a globe the minor towns and roads are not available.So its more accurate. Flat maps are better than globes because flat maps are more easily transported. They are also easier to use when calculating distances. A flat world map will allow you to look at the whole earth at one time. It helps people to understand where each country lies in relation to the others. It is easier to measure distances from place to place. You can't fold a globe making it easier to transport or carry.
Globes will give a more accurate representation.
