Planimetric Map

http://sydney.edu.au/medicine/nepean/about/maps.php

A Planimetric map can be simply put as a surface map with no added relief features. This type of map conveys two dimensional information and is the type of map you would see on a GPS system. The planimetric map shown above is a street map focused on the location of the Sydney Medical School at the Nepean Hospital. As you can see this is a two dimensional portrayal of the area with no relief shown, it is simply streets. The planimetric is the most helpful when someone is  in need of directions and nothing else.
