It shows stuff like mountains a little better.Maybe a little...Maybe the problem is with changing the scale - while large ones mean topographic when small (large areas) scales mean physical -- different layout on papers...

Reply #32 – 2014-01-30, 16:25:40 Quote from: Shadedrelief.comDigital map art, although highly accurate, tends to have a mechanical appearance lacking the visual appeal of the best manual art. That National Geographic today still uses manual art for world physical maps indicates the existence of a quality gap.Large wall map (42.8 MB) – CMYK JPEG (quality level 10), 17,010 x 9,720 pixels, 270 DPI.Who's ЧМЫК?And who's DPI?
Re: Maps-Maps-Maps! ? Reply #33 – 2014-01-30, 17:32:07 Don't you use Wikipedia? DPI is dots per inch; 270 DPI is decent-enough looking print. Although to say that a digital picture is 270 DPI is meaningless. They probably mean it'll print at 270 DPI onto A0 or some such.Actually, let's quickly calculate that:17,010/270 = 63 inch9,720/270 = 36 inchThat doesn't seem to correspond to any common paper sizes.

It's just that the traps of Russian Engrish are tough. "Physical map" means geological map, with heights and depths and such, good for trekking. He still means a software solution. The best bet is the satellite view of Google Earth or equivalent....Quote from: studentwebMaps that show the natural features of the Earth are called physical maps. In fourth grade we will focus on physical maps that show landforms. Mountains, hills, and plains are all examples of landforms. Physical maps also show bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Re: Maps-Maps-Maps! ? Reply #40 – 2014-02-03, 10:03:15 @JoshI also have a map on paper titled "World Physical" - in English, but printed in Budapest. You know, when you say "physical map" on the internet, it's like... Well, I admit your mastery of the English language is superior to any and all of us. You demonstrate it constantly. You even know how the syntax in T&C must be. Everybody else got it wrong, but luckily we have you.
Re: Maps-Maps-Maps! ? Reply #41 – 2014-02-03, 10:03:51 On the Internet you might consider asking for a digital physical map. Although geographical map will do just as well without the ambiguity.
Re: Maps-Maps-Maps! ? Reply #42 – 2014-02-03, 10:41:55 Ersi, you sunavzabirch! Frans &al., I reckon that, as geography having such fields as physical geography, political geography, etc., geographical maps seems to me being a general term - the hyponyms being physical maps, political maps, etc. Am I right?
Re: Maps-Maps-Maps! ? Reply #43 – 2014-02-03, 10:53:11 In terms of maps I think geographical stands opposed to political. I might be wrong.

Re: Maps-Maps-Maps! ? Reply #47 – 2014-02-03, 12:27:11 Google's term "terrain" is really apt here. "Terrain map". Geography means etymologically maps as such, any map. Geology and geophysics may mean mineral contents and structure of the soil. Nothing fits better than "terrain map".
Re: Maps-Maps-Maps! ? Reply #48 – 2014-02-03, 12:29:32 Still, I believe "geographical" is the general term: "depicting earth". While the word "map", the lexeme "map", seems to me having far not only geographical or cartographical meaning... Yeah, seems it has applications in biology and mathematics.
