Grids

Today we talked about grids on the map. It consisted of longitude and latitude on the map. I also found out that the art and science of mapmaking is a Cartography. We also talked about the absolute and relative location. The absolute is the exact location of the place with degrees and seconds. But the relative location is like the area around it. Also, maps serve two different purposes, one is a reference tool to identify an objects absolute and relative location. The other one is a communication tool to convey the distribution of human activities or physical features.
