Map generalization aims to simplify and reduce the complexity of a map while preserving its essential features and information, making it easier for users to understand and interpret.

Exaggeration is not typically used in map generalization as it involves intentionally distorting features to emphasize their importance, which can lead to misinterpretation.

Simplification involves reducing the number of features on a map while maintaining their essential characteristics and spatial relationships.

Personal preference is not a relevant factor when selecting features for generalization, as the process should be based on objective criteria related to the map's scale, purpose, and visual hierarchy.

Amalgamation involves combining adjacent features with similar characteristics into a single feature, reducing the overall number of features on the map.

Point displacement is not a typical technique used in map simplification as it involves moving points away from their original locations, which can distort the spatial relationships between features.

Line generalization involves simplifying line features by removing unnecessary details while preserving their overall shape and connectivity.

Smoothing is not typically used in area aggregation as it involves modifying the boundaries of features to create smoother shapes, which can alter their spatial relationships.

Classification involves grouping features with similar characteristics into classes, allowing for more efficient representation and communication of information on a map.

Text labels are not typically considered a method of map symbolisation as they are used to provide additional information about features rather than representing them visually.

Symbolisation involves selecting and applying appropriate symbols to represent features on a map, helping to communicate information effectively and visually.

Arrows are not typically used as point symbols as they are primarily used to represent direction or movement.

Omission involves removing small and insignificant features from a map to improve clarity and readability.

Arrows are not typically used as line symbols as they are primarily used to represent direction or movement.

Smoothing involves modifying the boundaries of features to create smoother shapes, improving the visual appearance of the map.
