Maps and globes show different places on Earth. A map contains key elements like a title, compass rose, legend or key, and scale. The title provides information on the map's subject. The compass rose orients the map with cardinal directions. The legend explains symbols and colors used. Scale relates distances on the map to distances on Earth. Different types of maps include world maps, street maps, and metro maps.
