I know this is a fundamental question .... can anyone please define for
me the difference between a 'plan', a 'map' and a 'chart'?
 
Is it a question of function? Or is there some more precise distinction
based on use /contents /stylistic representation? Is there a clear
difference between these forms of cartography, or is one considered
a subset of the others (e.g. are charts and plans simply special classes
of the map)?
 
Thanks!
 
Darius
