Directional Maps

Use this template for creating the directional maps, location plans, site schemes, transit schemes, road maps, route maps.
"A road map or route map is a map that primarily displays roads and transport links rather than natural geographical information. It is a type of navigational map that commonly includes political boundaries and labels, making it also a type of political map. In addition to roads and boundaries, road maps often include points of interest, such as prominent businesses or buildings, tourism sites, parks and recreational facilities, hotels and restaurants, as well as airports and train stations. A road map may also document non-automotive transit routes, although often these are found only on transit maps." [Road map. Wikipedia]
This template for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the Directional Maps solution from the Maps area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Landmarks" contains 34 signs and pictograms for drawing road and transit maps.
The vector stencils library "Map symbols" contains 10 signs and pictograms for drawing road and transit maps.
"A landmark is a recognizable natural or man-made feature used for navigation, a feature that stands out from its near environment and is often visible from long distances.
In modern use, the term can also be applied to smaller structures or features, that have become local or national symbols." [Landmark. Wikipedia]
The pictograms example "Design elements - Location map" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Spatial Infographics solution from the Maps area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

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]
The spatial infographics example "Conference centre location map" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Spatial Infographics solution from the area "What is Infographics" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This location map sample was created on the base of the location map from the website of the NTSB Training Center.
"The NTSB Training Center is the training facility for the National Transportation Safety Board, an independent federal agency that investigates all civil aviation accidents in the United States and selected accidents in other modes of transportation.
The Training Center provides training for NTSB investigators and others from the transportation community to improve their practice of accident investigation techniques. The curriculum promotes independent, objective, and technically advanced accident investigations that will enhance the safety of all modes of transportation. ... Located on the Virginia campus of The George Washington University in Ashburn, the Training Center is ten miles from Washington Dulles Airport and 30 miles from Washington, D.C. Driving directions, maps, and a link to the virtual tour of our facility are available on the Campus page." [ntsb.gov/ trainingcenter/ about.htm]
The location map example "NTSB Training Center location" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Directional Maps solution from the Maps area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"An airport rail link is a service providing passenger rail transport from an airport to a nearby city; by mainline- or commuter trains, rapid transit, people mover or light rail. Direct links operate straight to the airport terminal, while other systems require an intermediate use of people mover or shuttle bus.
Although airport rail links have been popular solutions in Europe and Japan for decades, only recently have links been constructed in North America and Oceania, and the rest of Asia. Advantages for the rider include faster travel time and easy interconnection with other public transport, while authorities have benefited from less highway and parking congestion, less pollution, and additional business opportunities. Additionally, the links benefit airports by drawing in more passengers via easy access." [Airport rail link. Wikipedia]
