If your story has a route or key points in different places, or there is a characteristic for a specific area, show it all on a map. The advantage of maps is that they are visual, and with the help of interactive services they are also multifunctional. With the help of maps you can:

build a route
measure distance
estimate the scale
see any street through the eyes of a passerby
find out information about a real object
determine the location (both your own and others)
identify and compare characteristics of regions
