To orientate yourself is to establish your position
• “oriens” (Latin) - rising of the sun or east
• find distinctive landmarks andcorrelate photograph with actual landscape
• orientation in terms of direction - cardinal points of the compass
• in South Africa shadows fall to the south

What is a map?A map is a generalised and reduced representation of (a portion of ) the curved surface of the earth on a flat surface
Orthophoto Map• a combination of an aerial
photograph and a map• a rectified image and true to scale
Orthophoto Maps
How does the orthophoto map differ from the vertical aerial photograph?

1:50 000
• This is a mathematical wayof expressing the scale
• Only numbers are used and it refers to the same unit of measurement
Numerator
• The numerator is always 1 & represents the map
Ratio Scale
Denominator
• The denominator is always bigger & represents the ground

100 000
E.g. 3,7 cm on the topographic map
3,7 x 50 000100 000
= 1,85 km
• To convert cm to km you must divide by 100 000 (1km = 100 000 cm)
• Converting distance on the 1:50 000 topographic map:
