Study Notes
Maps, Plans, and Representations
National Road Maps
- Show major routes, roads, and distances between major cities and towns in South Africa
- Skills:
- Decide on the most appropriate route between destinations
- Estimate traveling costs and times
- Plan stopping points for accommodation, breaks, or refueling
- Use distance tables to determine distances
Strip Charts
- Show locations of towns, other roads, and points of interest on a specific route
- Skills:
- Determine more accurate traveling distances on specific sections of a route
- Decide on appropriate stopping points for refueling or breaks
- Estimate traveling costs and times
- Use distance markers and indicators on the chart
Street Maps
- Show positions and names of streets and other locations within a city
- Skills:
- Identify locations using symbols
- Follow and provide directions using street names and directional indicators (e.g., left, right)
- Use a grid reference system with the street index to find specific streets
Housing Complex Maps
- Show positions of houses within a small housing complex
- Skills:
- Work with a map that shows a small area with limited detail
- Follow and describe directions to a specific location within the complex
Using Scales
- Use the given scale to estimate traveling distances when a distance table or distance markers are not provided
- Two types of scale calculations:
- Type 1: Map Measurement to Actual Distance
- Measure a distance on a map
- Use the given scale to convert this measurement to the actual distance
- Formula: Actual Distance = Map Measurement × Scale Factor

Types of Scales
Number Scale
- Expressed in the format 1:50,000
