Annually, National Read a Road Map Day on April 5th challenges us to test our skills.



#NationalReadARoadMapDay

The earliest road map, Britania Atlas, was drawn by cartographer John Ogilby in 1675. Fast forward a few centuries, and my how things have changed! With satellites, GPS, and voice commands do we know how we get anywhere anymore?

Road maps are still a useful tool. Should batteries run low or a satellite connection becomes lost, we will need to rely on a current road map to keep us on course. The day reminds us to take some time to sharpen those map reading skills. Take notice of your surroundings. Do you know north from east? If not, it’s a good time to learn.



HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL READ A ROAD MAP DAY

Practice reading a road map.

  • Learn the different symbols.
  • Put away the electronic devices and unfold a traditional road map.
  • Familiarize yourself with it and take a little trip.
  • Do you have a knack for using a map? Teach someone else to read a map.
  • Or maybe you can build a road map like Meg Duguid, Michael Thomas, and Thomas Duguid did below! Share your fun projects with us, too.
