4 main different between a map and a plan?

Answer 1

*A map is a symbolized depiction of a space which highlights relations between components (objects, regions, themes) of that space. Most usually a map is a two-dimensional, geometrically accurate representation of a three-dimensional space; e.g., a geographical map. However, computers and database systems have allowed for the growth of Geographic Information Systems, or GIS, which allow for dynamic, real-time interaction with geographic data. More generally, maps can be devised to represent any local property of the world or part of it, or any other space, such as the brain (see Brain mapping) or extra-terrestrial mapping.

*An abstract representation of the physical features of a portion of the Earth's surface graphically displayed on a planar surface. Maps display signs, symbols, and spatial relationships among the features. They typically emphasize, generalize, and omit certain features from the display to meet design objectives (eg, railroad features might be included in a transportation map but omitted from a highway map).
Plan:
*A systematic arrangement of elements or important parts; a configuration or outline: a seating plan; the plan of a story.
*A drawing or diagram made to scale showing the structure or arrangement of something.
*In perspective rendering, one of several imaginary planes perpendicular to the line of vision between the viewer and the object being depicted.

Answer 2

A map is a non-pictorial graphical image of geographical features, including major aspects of the built environment, such as roads, railway tracks and canels. It also provides information about the terrain by showing contour lines. Another feature of a map, is the provision of grid lines to show the position of the area, on the Earth's surface, for example, 20 degrees North (of the Equator) and 17 degrees East (of Greenwich --- a suburb on the River Thames in London). If the map includes rivers and oceans, it will usually show the depth of the water and the locations of reefs or rocks.

A plan (as in "architectural" plan) is a drawing (pictorial or non-pictorial) of a man-made object or structure. It usually contains enough details to allow competent wrokers to construct the object or structure. Just like maps, plans are drawn to a known scale and they also use standard symbols to represent machines and appliances and architectural features such as doors and windows.

A plan (as in a "scheme") is a list of intentions which are intended to achieve some desired end or goal, for example, "the boy's career plan is to complete high school, enrol in a liberal arts and sceinces degree and then enrol in an engineering degree before joining the astronaut programme". Thank you for asking this very sensible and thought provoking question.

Answer 3

A map is a representation of a view from above.
A plan is generally a horizontal section through a structure at a specified level. (Though we do have 'Site plans` which, under the above, would be maps).

Answer 4

1. Map- geographic
Plan-building design
2. Map- large scale
Plan-smaller scale
3. Map- symbols= buildings, rivers, roads, etc
Plan- symbols= lights, outlets, doors, etc
4. Map- created by a surveyor or GIS
Plan- created by architect or civil engineer

Answer 5

you need to circulate to a commute agent to grant you the tough define of the holiday, say the city, the rail value ticket and seat reservations. then you definately can do your very own scheduling for issues like excursions, hostel, and foodstuff. be confident which you get the two a rail value ticket AND a seat reservation on each phase of your holiday. A Eurail value ticket interior america of a would be extensively greater low-budget than one the two on the spur of the 2d there.

Couple more differences

Map - Help you find the building
Plan - Help you build the building

Map - Find your way around the city
Plan - Find your way around inside the building
