Quantitative Map Literacy: A Cross between Map Literacy and Quantitative Literacy. Xie, M., University of South Florida, Vacher, H., University of South Florida, Reader, S., University of South Florida, Walton, E., & University of South Florida Numeracy, January, 2018. 00000Paper doi abstract bibtex We define quantitative map literacy (QML), a cross between map literacy and quantitative literacy (QL), as the concepts and skills required to accurately read, use, interpret, and understand the quantitative information embedded in a geospatial representation of data on a geographic background. Long used as tools in technical geographic fields, maps are now a common vehicle for communicating quantitative information to the public. As such, QML has potential to stand alongside health numeracy and financial literacy as an identifiable subdomain of transdisciplinary QL.
