Explain one difference between maps and aerial photographs.
1.Currency – They provide a more current pictorial view of the ground than maps
2. Preparation time – They can be obtained more quickly. An aerial photograph may take a few hours to prepare while maps may take a few months to prepare.
3. Interpretation/reading – Ground features are difficult to identify or interpret on an aerial photograph. However, maps have symbols, abbreviations and keys which makes it easier to read and interpret them.
