A map type represents a grid of cells. Associated to this grid, we have a map projection, datum and registration coordinates.

There are two basic types of maps:

Maps whose cells represent classes or categories, like, vegetation type, soil type, sub-regions etc.

Categorical map example: a map depicting land use

Maps whose cells represent values like temperature, probabilities, distances etc.

Non-categorical map example: a map depicting probabilities
