Why are maps important? What societal information can be learned from them?
Maps are extremely important. I realized how lucky we are to be able to use our smartphones. This weekend I was all over the city just out with my son celebrating halloween stopped at Hells Kitchen, Bryant Park, and then to then Chelsea Piers. It’s quite a blessing to not have to look at the computer and print the directions from map quest and then go about our day. I remember this was the case late 90s early 2000s whenever my family and I had to go on road trips. The societal information we can learn from maps is attractions, road work, restaurants, shops and the best part is we can actually get street views to better help us locate a specific location. It comes in handy in any part of the world. when I visit any country or state I was shocked to see that my GPS or map application literally worked in the Dominican Republic! For my map I highlighted what my weekend consisted of.
