Early sailors used portolan charts as navigational tools that provided detailed coastal outlines, harbors, and landmarks. These charts, which featured compass roses and rhumb lines, helped mariners plot their courses and navigate safely along coastlines. The charts were often based on a combination of firsthand exploration and earlier cartographic knowledge, allowing sailors to avoid hazards and find safe passage. Their accuracy and practicality made them essential for maritime navigation during the Age of Exploration.
Jerusalem and Portolan are types of maps. Jerusalem maps typically focus on the religious and historical significance of the city, often highlighting holy sites, while Portolan charts are nautical maps used during the medieval period, providing detailed coastal information and navigational routes for sailors. Both serve distinct purposes in cartography, reflecting the cultural and practical needs of their times.

In Tudor times, the three main types of maps were known as portolan charts, mappa mundi, and terrestrial maps. Portolan charts focused on maritime navigation, detailing coastlines and harbors. Mappa mundi represented the world from a medieval perspective, often including religious and mythological elements. Terrestrial maps provided more localized views of land and terrain, often used for administrative and military purposes.
in general the countries surrounding the Mediterranean. The word portolan is from the Italian. They were intended for navigation from port to port, rather than the wide ocean. Columbus probably had a ('appropriated') fragment of a Portuguese one - originally from Turkey - that he used in his Spanish-sponsored voyage to the new world.
Assuming the map is of the known world, medieval maps were usually centered on Jerusalem. Sometimes they were centered on Rome. Portolan charts were sometimes based on a projectioncentering on Alexandria, and this was true even if Alexandria was not on the map.
An unconfirmed airport is an airport that may or may not still be open for public use, but is still shown on charts for navigation purposes or for emergency use.
