False. A map does not show the true size, shape or even direction for that matter. Consider how large Greenland looks on a map compared to a globe. Also, on a map, the Hawaiian islands and Japan are on opposite sides of the map, therefore not showing how close they are to each other, whereas you can properly tell on a globe.An advantage of using a map instead of a globe is that a map is easy to carry and can show the true size,?
A world map that showed the true size of the earth, would be gigantic. Probably not easy to carry.
