Why is it more convenient to work with a geographic map than with a globe?

The globe is a unique model of the globe, but it is not very convenient to work with it. The geographical map, although it does not show the sphericity of the earth’s surface, allows you to survey the entire Earth at once. It is easy to measure distances, areas and angles on a map using a ruler and protractor. A large map can be folded and carried around, but with a globe it will not work. Large-scale maps can be used to study even small territories in detail, while globes are produced only in small scales and several thematic types, and the variety of maps is almost endless.
