I enjoyed watching this video. And as a Cartographer and a map maker, you really helped elaborate on some key things which I got a better understanding thankyou very much sir!
I am confused about the legend vs key. Legend being more generic and key being more precise. The example in the video seems reversed 5:29. The key for example basketball/tennis seems like it would be more generic vs the legend which shows that actual basketball icon. That seems more precise.
Hi thanks. It's not about the symbol itself, but what feature(s) it is defined to represent, a unique feature or a generic category of features. Either way the symbol could be just a basketball. For example, a basketball symbol could be defined to mean only Madison Square Garden, a single famous basketball arena, and would be part of a key. The basketball symbol could be defined to mean basketball courts in general, a generic category. So it's not about the symbol itself but how you define it, because theoretically a given symbol could be defined as anything the cartographer wants it to mean (even if it seems to make no sense).
You mean where the longitudes all converge together at true north on the map like they do in the real world right? A planar/azimuthal map will show all the longitudes converging at the pole.
Amazing lectures, I just start learn Cartohraphy, your video is help me a lot sir. Thank you
Great, thank you!

Question: are there any maps that have true north?
You mean where the longitudes all converge together at true north on the map like they do in the real world right? A planar/azimuthal map will show all the longitudes converging at the pole.
@@robertthornett great thank you. Do you have any studies or videos on that? I just subscribed.
I don't but you could look for videos on map projections and geodesy@@farmerfox3332
Thank-you for the video. It is full of great information.
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
