      Hi thanks one thing to definitely learn about his map projections, the different types and what situations to use them. I will male another video about projections. Also data sources, like what are the different kinds of data that cartographers use to make maps (government census data, data from field collection, etc.) And the principles of map design, so the map looks good and is easy to read. With GIS, there is a whole set of spatial analysis tools (like functions you run on the data) in the software. The main software is ESRI ArcMap, it has lots of functions in it. If you can understand the idea of the statistics behind these functions, it allows you to use them well.

    So what is it simply that makes something a map really? That word still seems abstract to me even after watching this. If i take a picture in a helicopter over my street and use that picture to navigate my street in the future, why isn’t just that plain picture a map?

    • @robertthornett
      @robertthornett Месяц назад

      @everythingisfake7555 great question. What makes a map different from an aerial photo is that a map is drawn/designed as a model and uses symbols to depict the landscape. So with a map, the human can choose both what features are included and also how they appear symbolically. With a photo, what appears is the actual landscape itself rather than symbols depicting it. Having said that, they do often combine maps with aerial photos. They "overlay" or "drape" aerial photos on maps, like on Google Maps when you click to terrain view etc.

    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.

    • @robertthornett
      @robertthornett 5 месяцев назад

      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.

    The Earth you live on isn't spinning . The bible says nothing about movement because the Earth doesn't move, revolve or rotate. It's perfectly still. We inhabit a motionless realm covered by an impenetrable dome. We use gas pressure to debunk space that directly represents the heliocentric model. Space is a direct violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Using science to disprove the heliocentric model is the best way to get people to learn the truth. If you believe in a globe earth, outer space travel, or virus transmission.... YOU ARE NOT AWAKE
