Basic Map Skills
Out of all the basic map skills, I find that using the compass rose is easy. I think that it is easy because I know how to do it well. I struggled a lot with coordinates, probably because I don’t know it as well, and when you don’t know something well, it doesn’t come as easily to them, but other things that they know better do. Basic map skills are necessary because you need to know how to read a map, or someday you might get lost because you read the map wrong. Basic map skills help you understand geography because if you can’t read a map then you might go to the wrong place or send someone to the wrong place. This is why map skills are necessary.
