it shows the size of the object on the ground, on the scale.
It shows continents. countries. rivers. mountains. oceans. etc. basically everything on a normal map but it is bigger but not better.
A large-scale map shows an area in more detail compared to a small-scale map. Large-scale maps depict smaller geographical areas with greater detail, allowing for the representation of features such as streets, buildings, and landmarks. In contrast, small-scale maps cover larger areas but provide less detail, focusing on broader geographical features.
Here is a little trick to know how to tell the difference between a large scale map, and a small scale map. A large scale map is a map where your house would look large on it. For example, a map of your neighborhood, or a map of you area. (You can see you house on this map) A small scale map is a map where your house would look small on it (or you can't see it at all), like a map of the world, or a map of Europe. So large scale = large house small scale = small house.
A large scale map (covers a small area) shows more detail as there is more space to show detail. A small scale map (covers a large area or even a whole country, etc) doesn't have much space, so any detail is either shrunk or even omitted altogether.
the large one is bigger
A large scale map shows you the distanct between things on a map and on the real eaths surface.
A large-scale map shows much more detail. For example - a 1:1000 map will show twice as much detail as a 1:2000 one. The higher the number - the smaller the scale is.

This is known as the scale.

The scale of a map shows the relationship between the map distance and real world distance. The average scale is one eighty-thousandth of the actual size.
The two types of map usually have two different uses. A large scale is better for showing large scale landforms, navigation, or highways between widely separated places. A small-scale map shows more local detail (hills, parks, streets, important locations). You would not use the same map to drive from Dallas to Boston as you would to find a specific location in Boston when you arrived there. Online maps usually have the capability to display a wide range of scales, making them usable for a variety of applications both large scale and small scale.
