Fundamental Map Interpretation Issues

To what degree can we reconcile and integrate information shown on maps with our mental maps?

Can we extract information from maps that has meaning in our daily lives?

By “reading between the symbols on the map” can we interpret such phenomena as time, effort, comfort, potential, aesthetics, menace, or safety.\?

Why is the environment configured as shown on maps?Why is some feature here, or not here?What is going on? What does it mean?Can sense be made of its arrangement on maps?What is an appropriate, or inappropriate response to what we see?
