Map is a graphical representation of measuring and portion generally on a two dimensional surface area, but it can also be spherical as in globes. Map has the metric properties means that it must be possible to take measurements of distances, angles or surfaces on it and get a result that may be related to same measurements made in real world (adc maps).
Currently still using the classification and structure of it. Its first version contained 70 map (56 in Europe, 10 in Asia and Africa and one from each continent). He made a selection of best map available, which redrew for a uniform edition of his form, and established a logical sequence of map: world map, Europe, Asia, Africa, New World. It also included a list of names of authors of map. This atlas was a great success, especially for its size and shape; was published in several languages, and he stopped not updated and improved in 1612. In 1575 he was appointed geographer Ortelius Philip II, a position that allowed him access to knowledge accumulated by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.
The geographer and cartographer of German-Dutch-born Gerhard Kremer, Latin Gerhardus Mercator (1512 - 1594), born in Netherlands, studied philosophy and mathematics in his youth, soon becoming an eminent cartographer; among others, performed work for the Emperor Charles V. However, in 1540s he was accused of heresy and was imprisoned for some time. After he moved to Duisburg, in Duchy of Cleves, where many Dutch Protestants persecuted were also established.
The history of cartography from the earliest traces in sand or snow, to use of geodetic, photogrammetric techniques, and photo interpretation. The geometric errors of map usually kept below what the human eye can perceive. Encrypt usual limit of human visual perception by 0.2mm. The key issue in development of map is the graphic representation must be clear, without sacrificing accuracy. Map is a document that must be understood according to purposes involved in its preparation. Every map has a hierarchy of values, and primary should be emphasized over the side.
On the world map Mercator, Cartesian coordinates referred to parallels are parallel to x-axis straight, the Ecuador represented by said shaft, and the meridians are parallel to y-axis lines, the meridian represented by said shaft; the poles are not representable in map. The Mercator map projection is thus a direct rectangular cylindrical projection in which the parallels are lines that preserve distances.
At the time of discovery of America highlighted the great cartographers and Diego Mendez, Juan de la Cosa, Pedro and Jorge Reinel, Sebastiano Caboto, Oronteus Finaeus, Desceliers and in a very special way, Gerardus Mercator, who in 1569 first used the canevas projection. As a curious fact is that Amerigo Vespucci, who received the great honor of naming the New World, was actually a prominent cartographer but not outstanding, and the perhaps undeserved honor that was done, was because an editor who published first map of new lands, pointed and the name was popularized in an irreversible way.
Maybe they have not passed a single arrow indicating direction between two points, but still can considered as a first cartographic sketch. The natives of Marshall Islands and elaborated prehistoric proto-map on lattices of palm shells, representing "nautical charts" and indicating the curvature of wave fronts. Also noteworthy as background, cards made by primitive Eskimos on the hydrography of regions they inhabited.
The first year after the death of his great Mercator world map book was published. He was known as Atlas, after the giant of Greek mythology who held the sky, and have since named the greatest works of cartography. Later, the famous cartographer and engraver Jodocus Hondius copper refined and reissued the Mercator Atlas. Mercator is still regarded as one of greatest cartographers of time of discovery; conceived projection for world map proved invaluable for all boaters.
