- ajford 9y agoOutside of a narrow range of people (and jobs), how often is a topographical map even relevant to daily life? I can think of two, maybe three times in my entire life I've even had a reason to look at one. It's like saying you need to know how to read aeronautical maps. While a pilot might need to, and maybe those doing balloon based projects or drones might as well, the average person couldn't possibly care less.
