They are drawn to scale because it helps to find the correct distance between two places and also the distance to reach a place from ur position.....

∙ 13y agoDrawn to scale basically means that all the measurements are correct on the drawing as they are in real life. The measurements, of course, are smaller than real sized. (Example: 1 foot= 1 inch) <-- with this if a chair and another chair are 5 feet away from each other in your drawing the chairs have to be 5 inches away from each other.

What is the difference between plans and maps?
a plan generally works using a smaller scale while a map uses a larger scale as it generally covers larger areas. a plan is a true scale scale representation while a map is drawn such that some features on it cannot be drawn to scale. on a map many features are represented as symblos and generalization is carried out reasulting in changes in scale and displacement of features. e.g on a 1:1 million map, rivers and roads may be shown but they cannot be drawn to scale. a 5m road would be 0.005mm wide if drawn according to scale. plans tend to be for a single or few applications while maps cover a large vary of uses e.g in exploration, military, reacreation, geological, navigation e.t.c

What is the difference between maps sketches diagrams photographs plans?
In terms of cartography: Sketch (maps): Roughly drawn maps which may be inaccurate but can be quickly created. Maps: Should be accurate. Can be any scale. Features are drawn in their true position (within limitations of scale). Can be topographic; thematic; political etc. Diagrams: a cross-section etc. (aerial) Photograph: can look accurate but will be at different scales in various parts of the map because of distance from camera and pitch & yaw of aircraft. Plans: very Large Scale maps showing lots of detail. maybe of a single site.
