AI overview

A map is a visual representation of an area of land or the world drawn on a flat surface, showing the locations of places and features like cities, borders, and geography. Maps have been important tools for navigation, exploration, and understanding our world since at least the 17th century, when they were being produced and published by places like Amsterdam.

A map is a depiction of interrelationships, commonly spatial, between things within a space. A map may be annotated with text and graphics. Like any graphic, a map may be fixed to paper or other durable media, or may be displayed on a transitory medium such as a computer screen. Some maps change interactively. Although maps are commonly used to depict geographic elements, they may represent any space, real or fictional. The subject being mapped may be two-dimensional such as Earth's surface, three-dimensional such as Earth's interior, or from an abstract space of any dimension.
