Ancient Maps had no lines of longitude (no accurate clocks to measure it with). ... Modern maps only have a simple pointer to north (sometimes not even that). Ancient maps likely used hand made paper and inks. Modern maps are mass produced on quality paper.

∙ 12y agoModern day maps show much more detail than old world maps. Old world maps (also known as early maps) also tend to be a bit vague and display the earth from more of an imaginary view, due to the lack of technology they had available in those times. Old world maps, however, are great antique pieces in an artistic way, but if you're looking for educational or travel purposes, your best bet is to stick with a modern day map.
