 We did an exercise where we drew a map of our campus and the results varied. There were different starting points (packaging, train station, university buildings etc.), which showed us that maps are subjective. I also found it interesting that some took a different perspective when drawing a map. Some drew the buildings from a two-point perspective, others from a bird's eye view. After the presentation, I realized that I had misunderstood some things in the article and left out important details. For example, that a location is a specific place and space is a social construct. Both are two different things. Maps are sources. Much depends on who made the map (who commissioned it?) and who uses the map. Maps are not always accurate or/and have gaps. GIS (Geographic Information System) works in layers, which we can turn on and off.(can be used as a comparison tool) GIS is not equal maps. GIS also works without a map. We need geographical points for maps, scales and a compass direction. Data in a map can be represented in different ways. And boundaries change when we compare maps with each other. In the third part of the course we were divided into groups and had 1 hour to work on a story map. I was in the group with the Travel industry and i looked at the story map of the Olympic marathon. The group worked with bullet points, while our group wrote sentences. In their map you can see streets, houses and fields. Which makes sense in their map and would be rather superfluous in our map. Ours, although has a simple design, but it was still overwhelming due to the many symbols and text. Our map even included 2 more maps and a catalog and a diagram. Our map shows the Globus trading market, while the Olympia Group map is designed to show a specific location. Used for measuring and document a distance. (A staring point and final destination) They also had a chronology and multiple maps so you could compare them with each other, see an evolution. Both maps tell an individual story. The Olympia Group map uses pictures and text, and our map uses symbols, text and drawings and uses colors to provide more detail/a hierarchy.
