What is a locator map in relation to Human Geography?

A Locator map is used to show the relative location of the place that is being focused on in the map in terms of the larger area where it is located.

The locator map is usually located in a smaller box on the map and in it the area that is being displayed prominently on the map is then shown in terms of where it is on the larger area that it is in.

For instance, if the main map was a map of the state of Colorado, the locator map might be in a box at a corner showing where Colorado is in the United States.

like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
