MAP INFO is a term used to refer to the information that is included on a map. This information can include the SCALE of the map, the legend, the title, the orientation, and other details. The SCALE of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. It is usually expressed as a fraction or ratio, such as 1:50, 000, which means that one unit of measurement on the map is equal to 50, 000 of the same units on the ground. The legend is a key that explains the symbols used on the map. The title of the map indicates what the map is about, and the orientation shows which direction is north. All of these elements are important for understanding the information presented on a map.
