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

• Cartographers or mapmakers does not ask how large are each of the map elements or the size of each element of the map before designing them.

• They don’t ask this type of question normally because the size of the elements of the maps is not relevant.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Map making is a complicated process. There must be symbolic and accurate representation of a place.

• It should indicate the approximate distance between places that matches the distance on Earth. It should involve grids, symbols, and proper scale.
