How Do Maps Help Us Navigate the World?

Maps are like pictures of the world we can carry in our hands. Imagine you're on a treasure hunt, a map shows where you need to go, just like a road map shows the way from your house to the park. If you follow it step by step, you’ll get there! Maps help people find places and know how far they are from them.
