Secondary card

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A secondary card is a card that is located inside or outside the card frame of a main card and has a meaningful context with it. The term inset card, borrowed from English, is also often used. If the secondary card is located outside the card frame of the main card, it is also called an additional card . A special secondary map is the situation map (in the second meaning), which is used to locate the main map in a larger geographical area.
