All about Reading Maps
A map shows places, roads, rivers and features of the land from above. The key explains what each symbol means, and the scale shows how distances on the map relate to real distances. The compass shows which way is north.
To find your way, turn the map so that it matches the direction you are facing. Using landmarks you can see, such as a church or a river, helps you check where you are.
