The trivial bijection sends a rooted planar map with n edges to a rooted planar quadrangulation with n faces. Put one new vertex in each face and, in each corner, connect that face vertex to the incident original vertex. Each original edge then lies inside one quadrangular face; deleting the original edges gives the quadrangulation. The face bipartition recovers the original vertices and hence the inverse map.
