Description: The map legend is an essential tool in the graphical representation of data. This visual guide explains the symbols, colors, and patterns used on a map, allowing users to correctly interpret the information presented. The legend acts as a translator between visual data and its meaning, facilitating the understanding of relationships and trends that may not be immediately evident. For example, different colors may represent different ranges of values, while specific symbols may indicate categories or types of data. Without a clear legend, users might misinterpret the information, leading to incorrect conclusions. In summary, the map legend is fundamental for the correct interpretation of geospatial data, ensuring that the visualization is accessible and understandable for all users, regardless of their level of experience in data analysis.
