A map is a visual representation of an area—a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes.

Many maps are static two-dimensional, geometrically accurate (or approximately accurate) representations of three-dimensional space, while others are dynamic or interactive, even three-dimensional. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or imagined, without regard to context or scale; e.g. Brain mapping, DNA mapping, and extraterrestrial mapping.

What are some websites where a map can be created to display people's geographic locations?
Q. I want to be able to display the geographic locations of a group of people. For example, have the map allow me to insert a pushpin in Los Angeles, New York City, Denver, etc. Then I could give out the website link to everyone in the group so they can view the map. Thanks!

A. I don't know of any existing site that would allow a user to do that, but someone with some coding ability could build a Google Maps Mashup that would allow what you want to be custom done. There are tutorials available that tell you how. To see an example you can check out my site: and do a quick search; e.g. Little Rock restaurant Then click map view top right of the results page to see an example of a google maps mashup. If you wanted someone to create a custom site like you want, I'd consider it, but I'd need more information. Check the source link provided and you may find something that helps too. Good luck!

How do I create a map to enclose with my wedding invitations?
Q. We didn't ask the person who put our invitations together to do it. Is there an easy program to use to create a map with driving directions or somewhere on the internet that I can do it?

A. It's amazing that brides and grooms believe this to be necessary. Your guests will use their own maps or "gps" to get to the wedding (unless the actual wedding is being held in some out-of-the-way unknown spot). It would be acceptable to have directions to the reception available at the church for those who need them. Who leaves home for a wedding without knowing where they're going? Believe me, it's just one more itty-bitty detail that you shouldn't have to worry about.

How do I find a map of the "fall line" the place where the rivers fall from the Piedmont to the tidal plain?
Q. I can't find a good map of this zone. People say it can be a mile wide or more in places. I am pretty sure I am living in it right now, because it is very hilly and there are some rapids in streams near here. Immediately to the east, it gets flat.
Asked by KAR36 - Sat May 31 08:52:03 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Strictly speaking, the fall line is a line with no width, like the Continental Divide. So you can only live on one side or the other. In reality, the location is not that precise and you can find different locations on different maps. So there is a gray area. The link below shows a map for Virginia. If you don't live in Virginia, you should be able to find a map for your area with a little searching on line.
