Question

Which of the following is not a question normally asked by mapmakers before they design a new map.?

A. Where will the map be used

B. How large are each of the map elements

C. What is the goal of the map

D. Who will read the map

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Where will the map be used

Step-by-step explanation:

For the cartographers is not relevant where the map will be used due to the fact that we can take any map and use it anywhere. For instance, I can be in Europe and I can see the map of America. So, it is not relevant to know where will be used.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

B. How large are each of the map elements.

This is not a question normally asked by mapmakers, the size of the elements of the map is not that relevant.

The four main questions asked by mapmakers before designing a new map are:

1. What is the goal of the map

2. Who will read the map

3. Where will the map be used

4. What data and resources are available and needed
