You can do the proportion 
1 inch/ 80 miles =x inch/ 1100 miles
1100=80x
11oo divided by 80 equals 13.75

The trip would be about 13.75 inches on the map

The scale factor is 1/80 inches per miles. Then the distance of the trip on the map will be 13.75 inches.

What is dilation?

Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.

There is no effect of dilation on the angle.
