One of the major advantages of a map is that it represents either whole or a part of the earth. In contrast, the globe can only represent entire earth. A map shows the comparatively large amount of information than a globe, by the use of symbols.

Although they show stretched-out, two-dimensional representations that aren’t to scale, maps have many advantages over globes. Because they are two-dimensional pieces of paper, maps expand and contract easily. You can use maps that are large enough for everyone in the room to see, or small ones that students can use individually.
