Mapping Across is a process or procedure that utilizes submodalities. It is often mistaken as a technique by poorly trained NLP Trainers.
There are several uses for mapping.
#1 – To compare submodalities across similar situations with different states.
#2 – As part of a 3-step, ecological structuring process for obsessions (see Obsession Elimination Process)

Future pacing is the process of representing a future moment and placing the end result of an intervention there. When you experience a change of state and visit the future in your mind, you can note if you are more resourceful in that moment or not. In most cases, a future pace paves the way [...]
Unlike an analog submodality, a digital submodality carries a mental description that is like a discrete (or non-continuous) variable. For example, the value of a range is specific to “1 to 7″, or an “on” or “off” switch.
In NLP, a digital submodality is one where we can control it like an on-off switch. For instance, [...]
An analog (analogue) submodality carries a mental description that is like a non-discrete (or continuous) variable. For example, the value of a range is specific to “1 to 7″, any of the numbers there is a specific variable, but the value at 1.17 is within the continuous or analog scale.
In NLP, an analog submodality [...]
I pulled this from Wikipedia, since so many people claim that NLP has no scientific basis. Contrary to popular belief, NLP practitioners who are versed and up-to-date in research often have better knowledge about the processes that NLP develops.
For instance, many doubt the existence of repetitive cognitive associations in an NLP process like

In 1929, Hans Berger discovered that the mind exhibits continuous electrical activity and cast doubt on the Pavlovian model of perception and response because, now, there appeared to be [...]
In many aspects of modeling, evidence is required to show competence. An evidence procedure will show ‘evidence’ that something has been transferred or achieved.
For example, if you want to make a million dollars, it will be evident that you are moving toward it when you see visual evidence of a credible source, such as [...]
The use of a backtrack frame enables an individual to recapuulate what was done or said previously. Most of the time, backtracking will allow a practitioner to re-establish what was important during a conversation and guide the experiencer in other directions.
Examples:
“I remember you once said…”
“Is it true that you’ve wanted to…”
“Okay, [...]
The use of any sensory stimulus as a means to condition responses. The sensory stimulus may be in the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory or gustatory sensory system.
For example, traffic lights act as a visual anchor. The smell of your favorite food acts as an olfactory anchor.
An analog submodality has different shades and degrees of intensity. When looking at the submodality checklist, you can identify different submodalities which are analog versus those that are digital in nature.
For instance, Brightness is an analog submodality, but not association/disassociation.
