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.

How do I mark a series of points by Latitudes and Longitudes on a map?
Q. I have a series of points by latitude and longitude. I need to mark all of the points on a map and label them. Then I would need to be able to print the map or use it in power point. It would be nice if the map showed features like roads, forests, lakes, rivers ect. This is for a presentation about locations of endangered species. Can you tell me which online mapping program or website would work best? Thanks for the help!

A. Depending on the scale of the map, you could use little tick marks near the map borders labelled with the ddmmss. Remember that with this coordinate system, the distance between the N-S coordinates and the E-W coordinates will vary across the map, unless you are on the equator. To get really fancy, try MapInfo. Its not cheap but its very powerful mapping software. The above answer is not quite correct. S/he suggests using the lat and long points as x, y coordinates. Lats and longs are not a square grid and can not be used in a cartesian coordinate system. Thats why lats and longs are rarely used by surveyors and cartographers . For that you need to use a UTM grid such as WGS84. which makes it easier to measure and mark your points. … [cont.]
