16. Map use criteria

When we look for specific spatial information on the area where we live, in order to get the required map that can be read, we need:

 

• Title in our own language

• Legend and marginal information in our own language

• Place names in our own language

• Generics, abbreviations and letter symbols in our own language

• The cartographic point of view is that toponyms are only for identification, not for politics
