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 universe in general (and the Solar System in particular) certainly offer new grounds for this work having origins immemorial. Using techniques based on satellite photography has made it possible not only to know the exact contours of country, a continent, or the world, but also ethnological, historical, statistical, hydrographic, terrain, geomorphological, geological, and economic factors that lead men to their wider environment, the planet we live knowledge.
Tours of Venetians and Genoese within Africa, and large runs of Portuguese and Spanish along the coast of continent-and later the American-gave a new boost to mapping. In Mexico, indigenous leaders, as Hernan Cortes, had geographical map drawn on paper of maguey and skins, and cotton fabrics, sisal and palm, in which he drew with vegetable colors and sometimes were given a finish with varnish.
These map reproduced itineraries and specific zones. It is believed that the Spaniards added to existing map notes in Spanish, replacing the footprint of barefoot shoe to indicate the paths that could be passable on horseback. Representation of Catholic churches by crosses symbolizing ideograms and later sources, canals and aqueducts were also added.
The modulus of linear deformation increases with latitude toward the north pole or south pole, being infinite in both poles. A parallel equidistant in terrestrial sphere correspond well, on map, increasingly spaced lines.
The system of Mercator projection, can considered the most important achievement in history of cartography, before the twentieth century, new techniques of aerial photography were imposed and subsequently from satellites. Amerigo Vespucci (1454 - 1512) was a sailor who worked in service of Portugal and the Crown of Castile; was considered the first European to understand that the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus formed a new continent.
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.
