We use maps when we are lost and we need to find the directons to get to a specific area. Also, we would use it when we don't know where a place is and we need to go there, so we would use a map to locate where it is. Lastly, we would use a map when we are learning about where each country, province or city is. CLARA :)
In our everyday lives we use maps to sometimes travel to distant places we haven't been to yet,or we use maps to even find streets.People also use maps to find where they are and how long they need to walk or drive to that place,for example: A map of a mall Or a map of a house Or a map of a neighborhood
We usually use maps to pinpoint locations or to find places that we don't know its location. Back in the olden times (even in today's time) people used/use maps for invasions, suprise attacks, battle strategy and where to reinforce troops or battle gear (tanks,guns,etc,etc,etc). Hopefully people aren't doing not so nice things with the maps. Now there are more maps than ever! The maps are more detailed than ever! An example of one is Google Maps. I'm glad that more and more people are using the maps for good reasons and good things (not throwing daggers at them because you're mad or things aren't/didn't going the way you wanted them to go).
We use maps in our everyday lives by looking at thing we don't know how to get to like finding a way around your school,house or neighborhood.We also use maps to find out different places in the world and how it looks.
I agree with the person who posted the second comment. We use maps in our everyday lives by finding a store at the mall when we go shopping, a map of our house when we need to find something and a map of our neighborhood to see where our friend's house or where a specific house is. Bassicaly, a map is mostly used for locating and finding a specific thing or area. CLARA :)
I agree with Eric 6. We use maps to find out different places in the world and finding our way around a new neighborhood that you have never been to. CLARA :)
i think we use maps in our everyday life by finding directions to go somwere that you dont know how to get there also we use them to find a place in the world there are usually a legend to show the special things in that city,town,country,etc... sarah
I agree with the first comment I usually use maps for finding a friends house or someone else close by. I don’t use it for finding places all over the world. Sometimes I do but not everyday. Only when i want to go somewhere in the world or country. sarah
We use map in our everyday because we need to find directions of places we want to find but we don’t know where it is. Maps can be used to find many things such as: mall, cities, and many places. Maps are basically to give you the route to go to a place. The GPS is a new technology that is like map but you put it in the car and it leads/or shows you the way. The map is an old fashion way to find places, but now with technology they invented GPS.
I agree with Sarah, in some maps there are legends to show what some things are. Maps used to find cities all around the world. Every day we use maps because we can find the directions.
I agree with Clara, maps are used when we are lost to find the directions. Map is something where we could learn about. Lastly, a map is to locate something somewhere. Sabrina
I agree with Sabrina. We use maps to find a route to somewhere. Also, I agree that there is a new technology which is the GPS where you just type the adress where you want to go and it will tell you like when you are on the street, the GPS would say turn right for an example. The map is an old way to find a place to get somewhere since someone invented the GPS but the map is a very handy tool still. CLARA :)
I agree with Sarah. We use maps to find cities all around the world and where they are. Also, in almost every map, there is a legend where is shows what each drawing repersents becasue sometimes there are things on the map where it has to be very detailed for people to know what it is, so they just put a little drawing and in the legend it will tell the reader what it is. CLARA :)
We use maps in our everyday lives to locate a place we want to go to, such as a nearby city we have never visited, or if we are not sure where to go in a new city or such. Finally, maps are used in everyday lives to locate smaller place that are in cities, such as a museum or your new school.
I agree with Clara that a map is specifically for finding locations. I also agree that a map is a good thing to have when you are studying a province,city or country. The comment about pinpointing things on a map was mine. Eric 5:)
I agree with Aurora. We use maps in our everyday lives to find where a specific place in a museum or a school. As well, we can use maps in a large park like Canada's Wonderland or Ontario Place. CLARA :)
I agree with Jeremy that we use maps to get to places or to find places. I also agree with Sabrina (and everyone else that said it) that a GPS is a newer way to navigate and a map is an older way to navigate. Eric 5:)
I agree with Aurora we can use maps to locate places inside amusement park, museums or etc. Maps can also be used to locate new cities and or smaller cities.
we use maps more then we think in our every day lives like when we drive and use G.P.S,in school learning,when at a fear or when going to a new place and lots more other ways then we think.
I think we use maps in our every day lives to reach a destination or get to a place.You use maps almost every day but you might just not know it. We use maps to locate places around the local cummunity, city ,country and world to get to places.
I agree with Jenifer. We use maps to find our way to a specific destination when we are afraid we might get lost. Also, I agree that we use maps more than we think we do because we use the GPS and that is still a map, it is just on a digital screen. CLARA :)
I never thought of that Abi. I totally agree with you. We use maps to find where we are in the world and what places are close by that we can go to throughout the day. CLARA :)
We use maps often in everyday life. Whether it's locating a room in a museum or an animal in a zoo, visiting relatives, or finding the local sports center - we use maps for finding our way, giving directions, and meeting friends.
I agree with Emily, we use maps to reach a destination or get to a place. I think it is very true that we use maps every day but we just don’t know it. Maps have new technology such as GPS, Google maps, Map quest and many more types of maps using technology.
Even on the TTC web site they would tell you how long it takes to go from one destination to another, taking the fastest route by TTC. As well by Christie Pits and the Toronto City Hall there is a machine that tells you where place are and city attractions are when you insert coins and then you type in your destination and they response with the directions. Sabrina
On the Apple iphone there is an application called “maps + compass” where it find locations, get directions and orientate yourself on the map. That is another type of map using technology.
Maps could be used in many way, like to show the temperature of a certain location, or to show key locations like the capital city of that country. Maps can be sometimes used to check the land height of the place.
We can use maps for telling/showing directions and if you drew your own map it would be easier to read your own handwriting. Sea charts were maps but they showed bodies if waters and where the islands were. Eric 5:)
There is a map on the Ipod touch or the Iphone (I'm not sure) that can zoom so close to the country, you can see the landscape anywhere in the world! Eric 5:)
What I would use a map for is to fine directions or to look for a country around the world but what i use in the map the most is to fine my ways to the places I need to get to for example I can take a different street to get to my house or just go the normal way home
i agree with emily we do use it in are everyday life ad i also agree with sabrina on the iphone there is a application to find your directions that what we used to get to our cottage.
I think that maps are laied out in many differet ways. Some of the maps have legends or keys liked Sarah said. I think maps were invented many years ago because they were used the 17th centry acording to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map. Sabrina
We use maps as guides to find places.For example,road maps show different highways and places along the highways, treasure maps show where to dig to find treasure, and mall maps show where different stores are in the mall. -Becky
Maps are helpful. When you need to find a place you don't know where the place is you could look for it on a map. For example if you didn't know your friend's address you could look on a map.
we use maps in our everyday lives by looking for signs on the road to see were we are going for example: a "p" with a dash inside a circle means "no parking" - Breann:p
Some of the ways I use maps are when I go to the mall and I am looking for a store I use the mall map. Also when I go on a road trip I need a map to tell me where to go. Azara
A computer map (Map Quest) can be used to find where a location is and a world map can be used to find out where different parts of the world are. Azara
Maps can be used to find provinces, states, or countries. Maps can also be used to find a place you’re trying to go to but don’t know where it is. Tommy
I agree with you Azara. There are many different types of maps. 2 of them are road maps which is a map that tells you where to get somewhere and a satellite map which is a satellite (an object that orbits around a planet) that shows places like a specific house. CLARA :)
There is some maps that are different than normal temperate maps or landmark maps. They could be something like tidal charts or wind charts to see the wave currents or wind travel for the last weeks or the next week.
You can use maps to find provinces, states, and countries when you’re learning about them or when you’re going on a vacation and you don’t know where they are. Tommy
We use maps in our everyday lives to find out where someone is living. For example I use google maps before to see what my friends house looked like so we now wich one was his.
We use maps in our everyday lives to find our way through the city. For example: if I wanted to meet up with my friends at a resturant and i didnt know where it was I could look in a map and I would most likely find where it is. We also use maps to find our way to stores in malls. For example: if I wanted to find lulu lemon in Yorkdale mall i could look at the great big map at the front at the mall and find the store or any other store easily. talia :D
I agree with you Talia. We use maps to find our way around a city. Another example could be if I wanted to go to the Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland but I couldn't find it because the place was so crowded and there were soooooo many different rides, I could just look at the map and find it before the line becomes very long or before the day ends. CLARA :)
We can use maps by working our way around the city finding the way to our destinations.Usually maps are located in the front of the stores and other places to find your way.We also use different genres of maps like:G.P.S.,compass for other resourses like:traveling to different countries,states,or province.Aretha:o)
I use maps to find places. Maps can speed up the way I find things. The diversity of maps has grown to facilitate in the grownth of the diversity of the many uses in maps one of these maps include weather maps that indicate ihe diffrent weather patterns in different areas. I use maps such as street maps and compases to indicate direction.
I use maps every day.Some people use the GPS to find their way from one place to the nother. The GPS is great because it use both pictures and voice to help people get to their destination.
The ttc map helps people who are going on the bus or subway. City maps helps people get to places in the city and to know how long it will take to get their.
what some people use the maps for directions or to find countries all over the world what i use it for is to find the places i need to go

Great comments room 301 & 308- trying extending your thoughts to how maps are used but also to the elements of maps that make them useful to the user.
