HOW TO READ A MAP

Do you like to travel to new places? When you travel, you can use a map to find your way around. If you can read a map, you can go to places you have never been to!
There are three important parts of a map. The first part is the compass rose. The compass rose shows direction. There are four directions: north, south, east, and west.
Maps also have a map key. The map key explains the meaning of each symbol on the map. Using the symbols, you can find different places on the map. For example, do you see the airplane symbol on the map? That tells you where the airport is!
Finally, maps have a scale. Everything on a map is drawn smaller than it really is. The scale helps you understand the real distance between places.
Now you know how to read a map. Think about a place you’d like to visit. Then grab a map and start finding your way there!
