Physical and political map of a little fantasy world I’m working on. It’s my first “real” attempt at map making, since I was never able to actually finish one before. Problems.

What are Maps? Its type and its uses (Explain in detail)

What are Maps? Its type and its uses (Explain in detail)

In the last article, we got to know about the 3D model of the Earth. Can the Earth be represented as a 2D model or a drawing? Can smaller parts of the Earth be studied in detail with some drawings? Let us dive deep into the question. A globe is a very useful thing when studying the Earth as a whole. But what would happen if we want to study just a small portion of it like a country, ocean, city…

A fantasy map of a place I’ve yet to name. Things like this make me really question where the line between a landscape drawing and a map are, because someone could make a strong case that this isn’t a map at all. However, it does fulfill the requirements. It is a diagram that makes a representation of a land/sea that shows physical features. It is a map, but where does the map end and the landscape begin?

Here and there is a travel guide that creates micro connections between two individuals through the exchange of physical maps. Through this platform, users can acquire maps from different cities in the world that have been customized by other users, primarily local inhabitants of that place but also from other travelers.

One key aspect of this service is that it allows the user to choose the some of the characteristics and personality of the person that has made the map. So you’ll know if you’re getting to know New York, for instance, from the perspective of a Graphic Designer, a marathoner or a Star Wars addicted. H&T is the anti-yelp. It helps inform people and travelers about special unique places in a city without making they popularity grow too fast. It’s a one on one experience from travelers to locals and locals to travelers. 

It works like this: The traveler accesses H&T website. They will first pick a destination. Then they choose whose maps they want to receive. This choice will be made based on the mapper's age, profession, general preferences and maybe even zodiac. The traveler pays, let’s say, $25 and has three maps delivered to their door. Two of the maps will be filled with the other persons recommendations of your destination. The other map will be blank and will showcase the traveler's own hometown.

Travelers can now fill their hometown map with their preferences and send it back to H&T. If Traveler’s successfully mail the map back to H&T, they will receive $10 back.  H&T will proceed by scanning the original map and add it to the stock, making it available for the next travelers that access the system and feeding the feedback loop that keeps this system alive.
