A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive.
A world map is a map of most or all of the surface of Earth.World maps, because of their scale, must deal with the problem of projection.Maps rendered in two dimensions by necessity distort the display of the three-dimensional surface of the earth.

A diffeomorphism between two Riemannian manifolds is called a conformal map if the pulled back metric is conformally equivalent to the original one. For example, stereographic projection of a sphere onto the plane augmented with a point at infinity is a conformal map.
