The scale of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. This simple concept is complicated by the curvature...

commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or fictional, without regard to context or scale, such as in brain mapping, DNA mapping...

In modern mapping, a topographic map or topographic sheet is a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief...

A linear scale, also called a bar scale, scale bar, graphic scale, or graphical scale, is a means of visually showing the scale of a map, nautical chart...

assign slightly different coordinates to the same location, so in large scale maps, such as those from national mapping systems, it is important to match...

world map is a map of most or all of the surface of Earth. World maps, because of their scale, must deal with the problem of projection. Maps rendered...

generalization, or map generalization, includes all changes in a map that are made when one derives a smaller-scale map from a larger-scale map or map data. It...

symbol maps, which scale point features, and many flow maps, which scale the weight of linear features. However, these two techniques only scale the map symbol...

classified as either "large-scale" (in other words, more detailed) or "small-scale". The Survey's large-scale mapping comprises 1:2,500 maps for urban areas and...

In geography, scale is the level at which a geographical phenomenon occurs or is described. This concept is derived from the map scale in cartography....

A city map is a large-scale thematic map of a city (or part of a city) created to enable the fastest possible orientation in an urban space. The graphic...

A map series is a group of topographic or thematic charts or maps usually having the same scale and cartographic specifications, and with each sheet appropriately...

dropped. The rules above are to be obeyed for large-scale maps. If the map being drawn is a small-scale map (less than 1:500 000 according to Imhof), rules...

Orders of magnitude (length) Scale (analytical tool) Scale (geography) Scale (map) Scale (ratio) Location of Earth "Scale". The Pennsylvania State University...

time, one of the most reliable maps of the two hemispheres was the first large-scale map drawn in Armenian. The world map was created in a Western cartographic...

A road map, route map, or street map is a map that primarily displays roads and transport links rather than natural geographical information. It is a type...

booklets (memoirs) are produced for many sheets at the 1:50,000 scale. Small scale thematic maps (1:1,000,000 to 1:100,000) are also produced covering geochemistry...

that at every point location the east–west scale is the same as the north–south scale, making it a conformal map projection. Conformal projections preserve...

outward to the edges. Instead, each triangle edge of the Dymaxion map matches the scale of a partial great circle on a corresponding globe, and other points...

a dimensional scale. A weather map at some scale may be annotated with wind arrows at a dimensional scale of 1 cm to 20 mph. Map scales require careful...

An orienteering map is a map specially prepared for use in orienteering events. It is a large-scale topographic map with extra markings to help the participant...

contour interval should be the same over a single map. When calculated as a ratio against the map scale, a sense of the hilliness of the terrain can be...

Outside the US and Canada, Yahoo! Maps Beta can recognize city, province, and country names, and provide a small-scale map or satellite views. Right click...

native Japanese maps are obsolete and their basic reliability is decreased. It is highly important, therefore, that a large-scale map material or trig...

accurate large-scale maps. In constructing a map on any projection, a sphere is normally chosen to model the Earth when the extent of the mapped region exceeds...

the map space or in the data space. SOM has a fixed scale (=1), so that the maps "optimally describe the domain of observation". But what about a map covering...

Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work. One definition for software systems specifies that this may be done by adding...

temperature scales are not reflective of the fundamental, microscopic laws of matter. Temperature is a universal attribute of matter, yet empirical scales map a...
