look at the map vs read the map

Both 'look at the map' and 'read the map' are correct phrases, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'Look at the map' implies simply viewing the map, while 'read the map' suggests studying or interpreting the information on the map. The choice between the two depends on the level of engagement or interaction with the map that is intended.
