Maps reveal overall spatial orientation and the general relationships of one place to another.
Most of the time there is more than one way to get to a certain destination, and a map allows the traveler to adjust his route many times while still moving efficiently toward that destination. More women than men use route navigation. They move out from the base to explore, returning to the base whenever they get lost or whenever they want to start over and explore in a different direction. When they become familiar with an area, they may move from one landmark to another in order to navigation through larger spaces. If you are a route navigator, or you know one, you will be familiar with the phenomenon of driving to the grocery store and then having to drive back home in order to get to the movie theater because the driver does not know a route directly from the grocery store and the movie theater.
