What are Karnaugh maps? How are they used?
613762
The Karnaugh map, also known as a Veitch diagram (K-map or KV-map for short), is a tool to facilitate management of Boolean algebraic expressions. A Karnaugh map is unique in that only one variable changes value between squares, in other words, the rows and columns are ordered according to the principles of Gray code.\n\nThe Karnaugh map was invented in 1953 by Maurice Karnaugh, a telecommunications engineer at Bell Labs.\n\nSee the link below to have a clear picture of the Karnaugh maps are used.

Contour intervals are the change in value between two or more contour lines. \n\nMost commonly, this is used for elevation maps, but contour maps can be made of almost type of value. On an elevation map, the contour interval might be 100 feet. As you move across the map, each contour line is going to be 100 feet higher or lower in elevation than the line next to it. On a topographic map where contour lines get closer together the area is much steeper. Where streams cut down through valleys the contours will often form v-shaped patterns that point upstream. Where contour lines run together, there is a vertical area or a cliff.  \n\nHowever, almost anything that has some sort of spatial arrangement can be represented with a contour map.  For instance, you could make a contour map of population density that would show where the areas are that have the most people per square mile and the areas that have the fewest people. You could then make a contour map showing how many cases of tuberculosis were found per square mile, or anything you want that has some value that is spatially arranged. Contour maps are often used to map gravity differences from place to place. Contour maps are often used to represent air pressure, average temperatures, rainfall, etc. It used to be common to see barometric pressure contour maps on the evening weather reports, but tody they mostly use color contours and don't show the contour interval lines.  The contour lines will represent a set change in value between those lines. Where they get closer together the value is changing faster .\nHere is a simple and good explanation of elevation contour maps:\nhttp://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/geology/leveson/core/linksa/elevation.html\nHere are some contour maps of population density by elevation:\nhttp://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~small/Pop/HypsoDemo/Bivariate.html\n\n\nHere is very impressive and comprehensive list of types of contour lines and intervals:\nhttp://phrontistery.info/contour.html\n\nHere is a sea surface temperature contour map for North America:\nhttp://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/sst/ophi/color_sst_NW_ophi0.gif

There is a wonderful online discussion group for catographers where you question is best posed.\n\nVisit <http://mailman.geo.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/maphist> to join the group or learn more about it.\n\nGood luck!

These are called map wheels.

This is a method like grid squares on a map so you can specify a point relative to a known origin by x distance right and y distance up. \nIf three planes are used you can also specify a point in 3D space so that if you lay your sheet of paper flat with x and y marked, the z distance is above the paper, like height of a mountain above a flat map.\nLeft and down are given negative values.\nAs well as defining single points, you could specify shapes according to how the distance in the y direction relates to the x distance.\nSo x = y (often more confusingly written as x-y = 0 ) defines a line connecting points (x,y) such as (1,1) (2,2) (5,5) (1000,1000) at 45 degrees between the x and y axes.\nAlso, more advanced, X cubed + y cubed + z cubed = 27 is a sphere, centred on O with a radius of 3

I haven't used this, but it looks fairly simple (as opposed to the professional mapping products):\n\nhttp://www.smartdraw.com/specials/geography.asp?type=12195&id=12195\n\nGood luck

Some early navigation maps were used by Pacific islanders. They tend to be very abstract and can be made of sticks and twigs. Apparently they represent ocean swells around islands. These mapping techniques probably go back to the early human travels to the pacific islands, so maps were used 5,000 years ago or so.

Hi.  My students used the google map site.  it worked great.  try it and let me know if it worked.

It might be appropriate to use one on a page that zooms a map, but probably not on a regular menu bar.  Think about the rest yourself and the amount of resources it consumes.  Also if there are other ways to accomplish the same clearly with less resources.  Hope this will help.
