Mapping systems are tools or methods used to represent geographical areas, data, or concepts visually. They help users understand relationships and navigate through information by providing a clear layout of features, locations, or ideas. Common examples include digital maps, mind maps, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems). These systems can be used in various fields, such as urban planning, environmental science, and education. By organizing information spatially or hierarchically, mapping systems enhance comprehension and facilitate decision-making, making complex data more accessible and easier to analyze.
