Maps & Route Planners

Map: A graphic representation, drawn to scale and usually on a flat surface, of features (usually geographic, geologic, or geopolitical) of an area of the Earth or of any celestial body. Cartography is the art and science of making maps and charts.

Major types of maps include:

* topographic maps, showing features of the Earth's land surface;
* hydrographic charts, which detail ocean depths and currents;
* nautical charts, representing coastal and marine areas;
* aeronautical charts, which detail surface features and air routes.

Globes are maps represented on the surface of a sphere.
