Understanding Map Elements and Functions

The video tutorial introduces students to the parts of a map, including the compass rose, cardinal and intermediate directions, map title, scale, keys, legends, and grid. The teacher uses satellite TVs to aid learning and encourages students to identify directions in the classroom. The map title provides context, while the scale helps measure distances.
