This study aims to analyze the effect of using interactive map media on students' spatial literacy skills. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design in the form of a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of two groups: an experimental class using interactive map media and a control class using conventional learning methods. The instrument used was a spatial literacy test administered through pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test. The results showed an increase in the average score of the experimental class; however indicating that the use of interactive map media did not have a significant effect on students' spatial literacy skills. Nevertheless, interactive map media has the potential to enhance students' understanding of spatial concepts when implemented optimally in geography learning.
