Answer 1

Direction is often shown by use of a "North Arrow."

Map scale is shown using a scale, representative fraction, bar of indicated length, or verbal statement.

"Everyone, please take out your globes..."  I don't see that happening.  Maps can be folded and rolled into nicely-sized shapes.

Colours?  Depends upon the application of the map.  But blue usually means water, and black usually means roads.
