Mental Maps are based on someones own point of view, they can be very detailed or just a simple drawing like the one to the left. An example of a mental map could be driving directions based on a persons preferred path of travel. This particular map is a persons perception of Coal City, illinois. The map pinpoints places in the city that are particularly memorable to the map maker along with a bit of information on his experiences in each place.
