World maps are used by ship captains and other travelers of the sea in order to navigate ships to different locations in order to transport materials, people, and supplies. These ships spend many months at sea and need the maps and other navigational devices to stay safe.

World maps are also used by those who travel for a living. Since international business has become popular over the years, people travel more than ever for work purposes. Having a world map to track their progress and to get an idea of an area is one way to make a trip more relaxing. Traveling to new parts of the world can be frightening some times. A world map can make people feel a little better. Maps allow people to have a little more control over the situation because they have a general idea of where they are going. This can make any trip more pleasant.
