Question

what are the advantages and disadvantages of the map?

Answer 1

The biggest disadvantages of maps come from maps which are badly made in one way or another:

Maps with no scale give a poor idea of distances

Maps with no legend are frequently confusing to the map user

Maps with errors on (usually accidental) can send the map user to the wrong place or otherwise lead them to bad decisions

But there are also some disadvantages that are inherent to geographical maps:

Maps are never perfect. The smaller-scale the map, the more detail from the real world is missing, even if it has no actual errors. Features are simplified (this is called generalisation) and averaged out.

Flat maps always involve distortion. It’s not possible to project the curved surface of the Earth onto a flat sheet/screen with perfect accuracy, and while there are some projections which faithfully reproduce either areas or directions, the maps in most common use (Mercator variants) badly distort areas away from the equator.

Maps always omit information. To make maps readable for one type of information, another kind of information must be left out, otherwise the map becomes an unusable mess. Most labels on maps obscure something which could otherwise have been shown there.

Maps don’t show time, but hardly ever say what specific point in time they are supposed to represent. For instance the map of Europe on my wall right now shows Crimea as part of Ukraine, but in fact it was annexed by Russia in 2014. The map doesn’t state what date it shows.

Maps are always designed with a particular use, or set of uses, in mind. But the maps themselves almost never state their intended uses! So it’s quite common for people to put a map to use in a way that it wasn’t intended for, and which the generalisations, labels and accuracy aren’t really suitable for. The only solution to this would be better “map literacy”.

Advantage of map 

map can be folded easily and we can carry every where
map is small in size
map gives more detailed information then the globe
All maps have distortions because it is impossible to represent a three-dimensional objects like the earth accurately on flat maps. Maps that do not distort shape. Straight parallels and meridians cross at writing goals, most often used for world map. Maps that show correct distances, ever a world map.

Answer 2

Answer:

A map is a symbolic representation of specific features of a location that is normally drawn on a flat surface.

Explanation:

Advantages Of Maps:

• For specific areas, such as street lengths and geological features, maps are crucial.
• Maps are designed so that, given their assurance, the degrees are even more quickly available.
• Because they are static, maps can be used to create information correlations for observable reasons.
• Maps show the overall strategy: Paper maps are drawn on scales that give the client the overall climate rather than specifics.
• Maps are produced on static papers that won't alter in the future. As a result, when you try to understand the map, there won't be any unanticipated alterations to the design.

Disadvantages Of Maps:

• Maps are difficult because they require complicated translations to understand.
• It can be difficult to find high-quality paper maps in the modern, technologically advanced world.
• At any time when they are sent to the printers for printing, maps have a tendency to make mistakes.
• Maps are produced on paper, which is often damaged by weather conditions or other natural forces like water or paint.
• Maps only display limited areas on a single sheet, so if you plan to visit multiple sites, you will need several sheets of maps.

Thus, the biggest benefit of maps is that they allow you to view the entire globe in one location. The disadvantage is that global maps distort dimensions like size, distance, and course.
