Question

the first component in the basic features of map​

Answer 1

Maps contain lots of information. Most maps will have the five following things: a Title, a Legend, a Grid, a Compass Rose to indicate direction, and a Scale. The Title tells you what is being represented on the map (i.e. Austin, Tx). The legend (also know as the key) explains the symbols used on the map for various features like mountains or rivers and other major landmarks. Next, there is usually a grid made up of longitude and latitude lines to precisely locate specific locations. Then, there is the compass rose indicating the cardinal directions of North, South, East, and West as it relates to the map. Finally, the scale compares the distances on the map to actual distances (i.e. 1 inch = 10 miles). Knowing about these 5 things will help you better understand information when using maps.

Answer 2

There are three Components of Maps – distance, direction and symbol. Maps are drawings, which reduce the entire world or a part of it to fit on a sheet of paper. Or we can say maps are drawn to reduced scales. But this reduction is done very carefully so that the distance between the places is real.
