Map Skills and GIS mind maps

The mind maps on this page connect map-reading ideas with fieldwork and data. Map Features covers direction and map keys, while Map Skills brings together scale, distance, slope and grid references. Other maps look at types of maps, projection and choices involved in GIS map design.

Study with a mind map

Start with Map Features if you want to focus on direction and keys. For a wider set of map-reading skills, open Map Skills and follow its branches from scale to distance and area. Try explaining each branch in your own words, then return to the map to check what you missed.

For fieldwork, Fieldwork and Research brings together methods such as field sketches and footpath analysis. Sampling offers another way to explore how information can be collected. When you want to check your understanding, switch to a quiz on the unit page; use flashcards for short terms. Choose a mind map and follow a branch that interests you.
