Using the scale, approximately how far is the grocery store from the nearest bus stop? Is it closer or farther than 200 meters?
The grocery store is approximately 200–250 meters from the nearest bus stop (the one on the left side of the map). That is farther than 200 meters.
How far is the café in the south from the library? Would you walk or take the bus for that distance?
The café in the south is approximately 150–200 meters from the library. Students could reasonably walk that distance.
Estimate the distance between the two wooded areas on the map. Are they more or less than 300 meters apart?
The two wooded areas are roughly 250–300 meters apart, so approximately the same as the full scale bar.
Look at the key. How many different types of transport can you find on the map? Where are they located?
There are two types of transport: the bus stop (circle with a line through it) and the railway line (on the left edge of the map). There are two or three bus stops visible along the roads.
The dotted purple line crosses the map. What does it represent, and which landmarks are on each side of it?
The dotted purple line is the county border. The sports center and monument are to the west/left of it, while the library and restaurant are close to or on the border.
Can you find two landmarks that are inside the park (the green area in the center)? What are they?
The two landmarks inside the central park area are the woods and the monument.
The dashed white line shows a footpath. Where does it go? Does it pass near any points of interest?
The footpath (dashed white line) curves through the map in a wide arc, passing near the café, the woods, and the sports center area.
There is a river on the map. What feature helps people cross it, and approximately where is it located?
A bridge crosses the river, located roughly in the center-south of the map, near the restaurant and library.
If you arrived by train and wanted to get a coffee, which direction would you walk? Roughly how far is it?
Depending on where the train stop is interpreted to be (left railway line), students would walk east, roughly 200–300 meters, to reach the nearest café.
