To determine the direction of North

To measure the distance between two points

To mark a location on a map

To calculate the altitude of a mountain

Topographic maps show elevation and terrain features, while road maps focus on roads and highways.

Topographic maps are more detailed than road maps.

Topographic maps are typically used for hiking and backpacking, while road maps are used for driving.
