FSU Planimetric Map

http://www.sb.fsu.edu/~xray/contact.html


Planimetric maps are maps that show only the horizontal position of features on a map. They do not show elevation or much else, and are basically grid maps with key features denoted and labeled. This map shows Florida State's campus, and shows the buildings based just on their shape and relative size, focusing mostly on the accuracy of the positioning and the relative distance between them. This is a relatively small scale map because we can see all of the buildings over the whole campus. It is the basic type of map that we are most familiar with because we use these types of maps to get driving directions.
