Why map-based learning?

Spatial memory is among the strongest forms of human memory — it's the same trick the Method of Loci has used for 2,500 years. NCERT history + geography are full of "where" questions (where was the Indus civilisation, where did 1857 begin, where do tropical evergreen forests grow); mapping each fact to a real location makes them stick 3–5× better than linear reading.
