Exercise 2 solution

Example answer (yours will differ with the map you pick):

Scale: 1:50,000 (1 cm = 500 m)
Edition: 2019 revision (printed in the margin)
Five legend symbols:
1. Dashed black line - footpath
2. Solid red line - main road
3. Green tint with tree symbols - woodland
4. Blue line - stream
5. Small black square - building

Two things the map may not show:
1. A new fence or gate put up since the survey.
2. A footbridge washed away by a flood, or a path overgrown with bracken.

The point: a map is a selection made on a past date. Always compare it with what you can see.
