What is a “mental map”?

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

Our mental map is the geographical template we’ve built in our mind through repeated trips to familiar places.

A map of the land of Israel in our head, with important locations and events associating with it. So when you hear the name, you right away know exactly where it is and what were happening there…also what places are near by, the roads connecting places, and the mountains, and the rivers…

A mental map is a geographical template we develop in our minds by making repeated visits to familiar places. For example, the routes to our office, departmental store, supermarket, church, or recreational places.
