  • interpreting cartographic information such as titles, map symbols, north point, compass direction, grid references and major lines of latitude
  • using maps, ground and aerial photographs and satellite images or a digital application (for example, European Space Agency, NASA World Wind or Google Earth), to identify, locate and describe geographical patterns and distributions (for example, different types and patterns of settlements in Australia and Asia)
