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.
Became internationally famous in 1554 by a large map of Europe. On a world map of 1569 used map projection system was later named after him. This is a cylindrical representation with straight and parallel and meridian circles of equal latitude, and has the advantage that the straight lines connecting two points maintain a steady course, facilitating navigation compass.
To meet these demands, the cartographer can create multiple "levels of reading." At all times we should consider the simplification techniques, based on colors or symbols, bearing in mind that in a plane close reading can get detailed information elements. The amount of information must relate proportionately to scale. The larger the space dedicated to a region, the greater the number of data elements that can bring about them.
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.
