The purpose of a map legend is to define features in a map. Symbols are displayed in the legend along with text descriptions of what each of the symbols represents.

A map legend is a useful tool that is used in a multitude of areas, such as mall maps, hiking trail maps, and even video game maps. 

Note: Legend items can be used to set tool styles quickly and to perform bulk style changes.
