Maps are dynamic in nature - for example when you zoom in on a map, the quality remains the same and added details are visible. In a photograph the content remains the same. Zooming in just zooms in on the same content, amplifying it.

A map shows you the labeled routes and major features. A photograph shows you what you would see if you were looking at it.
