A mental map is a map that is formed in our minds by continuously going to places that we use to get to those places or that we can use to tell someone else how to get there or to help someone who is lost find the way to where they are going.

A mental map is an imprinted pattern that we develop in our minds from repeated trips to familiar places. If we cannot physically travel to the places we want to learn about, we can generate these mental sketches through repeatedly studying maps and other relevant information.

It is a map of places that we develop through repeat visits either in person or through repeat viewings of physical maps.

It is a map within our minds that comes about from repeated trips to our familiar places.
