The contribution deals with a comparison of curricular documents of Czechia, Slovakia, Finnland and the U.S.A., with special emphasis on map skills. Requirements for map skills of 11, 15 and 18-years-aged pupils, included in the curricula of the above mentioned countries, have been classified using the Revised Bloom's taxonomy.

Presenting results indicate considerable differences in conception of map skills from point of view of both their type (i.e. position in individual categories) both continuity according to pupil's age.
