Hi Evans, topographic maps are more detailed, they allow you to see the earth's relief more accurately and to know and understand the different slopes it has, with show my map you can see them with greater accuracy and it allows you and teach you how to enter coordinates in order to know exactly the coordinates of the map you are seeing at the moment. Also, unlike topographic plans, topographic maps represent large areas of the territory

Topographic maps are detailed, accurate graphic representations of features that appear on the Earth's surface. These features include:

  • cultural: roads, buildings, urban development, railways, airports, names of places and geographic features, administrative boundaries, state and international borders, reserves
  • hydrography: lakes, rivers, streams, swamps, coastal flats
  • relief: mountains, valleys, slopes, depressions
  • vegetation: wooded and cleared areas, vineyards and orchards.
