Clarke (2003) defines functional map literacy as the ability to understand and use maps in daily life, for work and in the community (Clarke, D., 2003. Are You Functionally Map Literate?, Proceedings of the 21st International Cartographic Conference (ICC) Durban, South Africa, 10 – 16 August, 713-719).
A more comprehensive review of different definitions of map literacy from scholars before and after Clarke can be found in Xie, M., Reader, S., Vacher, H.L. (2021). Map Literacy. In: Rethinking Map Literacy. SpringerBriefs in Geography. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-68594-2_2
