Bird's-Eye View mapsThe so-called bird's-eye view maps
(oblique views) stands between the artistic perspective view and
the map itself. It is a picture drawn or photographed at an
angle from above as seen through the eyes of a bird. It helps to
understand the map which is usually harder to interpret and is
therefore often found in the introduction to school atlases.
Bird's-eye views are also popular for touristic advertising or
as a souvenir. |
