The 3D pictorial street maps are used as road maps, route maps, locator maps, transit maps, directional maps, tourist maps with points of interest (POI).
"A point of interest, or POI, is a specific point location that someone may find useful or interesting. ...
Most consumers use the term when referring to hotels, campsites, fuel stations or any other categories used in modern (automotive) navigation systems. ...
The term is widely used in cartography, especially in electronic variants including GIS, and GPS navigation software. In this context the synonym waypoint is common.
A GPS point of interest specifies, at minimum, the latitude and longitude of the POI, assuming a certain map datum. A name or description for the POI is usually included, and other information such as altitude or a telephone number may also be attached. GPS applications typically use icons to represent different categories of POI on a map graphically." [Point of interest. Wikipedia]

"Road maps come in many shapes, sizes and scales. Small, single-page maps may be used to give an overview of a region's major routes and features. ...
Highway maps generally give an overview of major routes within a medium to large region ranging from a few dozen to a few thousand miles or kilometers.
Street maps usually cover an area of a few miles or kilometers (at most) within a single city or extended metropolitan area. City maps are generally a specialized form of street map." [Road map. Wikipedia]

"A locator map, sometimes referred to simply as a locator, is typically a simple map used in cartography to show the location of a particular geographic area within its larger and presumably more familiar context. Depending on the needs of the cartographer, this type of map can be used on its own or as an inset or addition to a larger map. ...
Direct marketing.
The widespread distribution of sophisticated Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping techniques has allowed the development of large-scale customized locator maps that can be tailored to individual consumers in direct marketing campaigns. This sophistication allows a variety of customized locator maps to be produced in a relatively short period of time. Major types of direct marketing locator maps are:
Single Location: A single business location is shown with major street and road connections. While this type of map can be efficiently constructed using GIS with existing street databases and customized map templates, special software is not required because the map does not change for each direct mailing."

How to Create a Directional Map

Travelers often use directional maps to find directions for certain places. These maps are guiding millions of tourists to explore towns and cities worldwide. Searching addresses on a map, view nearby businesses, get driving directions - this is only a little of what directional maps is needed. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to create various kinds of directional maps. You can easily visualize city maps or destinations with driving directions and traveler information using special vector stencils libraries.
The vector stencils library "3D directional maps" contains 40 symbols for creating pictorial maps, street maps, locator maps, transit maps, tourist maps with points of interest (POI), road maps and route maps using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Pictorial maps are a category of maps that are also loosely called illustrated maps, panoramic maps, perspective maps, bird’s-eye view maps and Geopictorial maps amongst others. In contrast to the regular road map, Atlas or topographic cartography, pictorial maps depict a given territory with a more artistic rather than technical style. The cartography can be a sophisticated 3-D perspective landscape or a simple map graphic enlivened with illustrations of buildings, people and animals. They can feature all sorts of varied topics like historical events, legendary figures or local agricultural products and cover anything from an entire continent to a college campus. ...
Pictorial maps usually show an area as if viewed from above at an oblique angle. They are not generally drawn to scale in order to show street patterns, individual buildings, and major landscape features in perspective. While regular maps focus on the accurate rendition of distances, pictorial maps enhance landmarks and often incorporate a complex interplay of different scales into one image in order to give the viewer a more familiar sense of recognition." [Pictorial maps. Wikipedia]
The design elements library "3D directional maps" is included in the Directional Maps solution from the Maps area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Take inspiration with ConceptDraw to visualise your maps and make eye-catching infographics.
This spatial infographics was created on the bese of the conference centre location map from the website. [cf.ac.uk/ share/ research/ centres/ clarc/ newsandevents/ isns-conference-2013-booking-information.html]
"The terms location and place in geography are used to identify a point or an area on the Earth's surface or elsewhere. The term location generally implies a higher degree of certainty than place, which often indicates an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human/ social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry.
Types of location/ place.
(1) A relative location is described as a displacement from another site...
(2) A locality is likely to have a well-defined name but a boundary which is less well defined and which varies by context." [Location (geography). Wikipedia]

This political map example shows the six UK parliamentary constituencies of Cornwall, the capital city Truro and main towns.
"Cornwall is a peninsula bordered to the north and west by the Celtic Sea, to the south by the English Channel, and to the east by the county of Devon, over the River Tamar. ...
The administrative centre, and only city in Cornwall, is Truro, although the town of St Austell has the largest population. ...
Following a review by the Boundary Commission for England taking effect at the 2010 general election, Cornwall is divided into six county constituencies to elect MPs to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom." [Cornwall. Wikipedia]
The political map example "Cornwall parliamentary constituencies map" was drawn using ConceptDraw PRO software extended with the Map of UK solution from the Maps area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Road signs" contains 58 symbols of road signs for labeling the road and route maps, directional and transit maps, street and locator maps.
"Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of or above roads to give instructions or provide information to road users.
... many countries have adopted pictorial signs or otherwise simplified and standardized their signs to overcome language barriers, and enhance traffic safety. Such pictorial signs use symbols (often silhouettes) in place of words and are usually based on international protocols. Such signs were first developed in Europe, and have been adopted by most countries to varying degrees." [Traffic sign. Wikipedia]
