Presentation and Visualisation Needs

Wherever we look, we are faced with maps: in daily newspapers and weekly news magazines, in books, on television, on the internet, on the train, at kiosks and even on table place mats.
There is also a great variety in map types. Some are highly detailed and look like engineering drawings, others appear like hand made sketches or simple 'way-finding' maps. Some of them show the whole world, others an area not larger than your backyard.

The objective of this lesson is to demonstrate the importance of map and cartography in our pseudo-modern world, and giving an explanation of why there are so many maps and why they have such different aspects.
