What are contour lines?
An contour line joins points of equal elevation in a map, so that when used in topographical maps, they can show hills, valleys, and slopes.
In geodesy, is each one of the elevation contours which materializes a horizontal section of the represented relief. The equidistance, altitude difference
between two succesive curves, is constant and its value depends on the scale of the map and the importance of the relief.
in a nutshell, a contour line gives us an idea of the shape of the terrain in a two-dimensional plane giving us data such as altitude and how rugged the
terrain is.

Why does a blue circle show up around the triangle that indicates my position?
This circle indicates the margin of error our devices may have, and it varies in diameter depending on the satellite signal quality. If the signal is good then the circle will be small and if the signal is bad the circle will become bigger. The diameter of the circel is proportional to the margin of error in meters that the device indicates (+- 7 m. for example), which means we coulde be within a 7 meter diameter of the actual location.
