Basic map skills reflection
What I found easy about basic map skills was the continents and ocean because I feel like they are easy to remember and I had already learned them in elementary school. I struggled most with coordinates. I found it difficult because I didn’t really understand latitude and longitude so it made it hard to find the location of the coordinates. Something that makes it more difficult is that i keep mixing up latitude and longitude so that makes it hard when trying to find the coordinates that are given to me. Basic map skills are necessary because if you are asked to go somewhere or you are lost and you don’t know where you are you can use your basic map skills to help you find your way to where you need to go. They help you better understand geography because geography is about knowing about and learning about places and you have a hard time learning about them if you don’t know your basic map skills so if you know them you will understand geography better.
