History of cartography in order?
The history of cartography in the order which occurred are: 1: Ibn idrsi's world map 2: The travel of Marco Polo 3: The Mercator projection 4: The Robinson projection
What are different types of map projections?
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)
What is the best projection map?
Robinson Map ProjectionAnswer #2Every flat map misrepresents the surface of the Earth in some way so can be no one best map projection. Depends on what characteristics are desired. There are many projections each with their own distinct characteristics such as having equal areas, equidistant, and true direction.Mercator, for example, is best used in areas around the Equator and for marine navigation. Robinson projection has both the lines of altitude and longitude evenly spaced across the map which creates a more pleasing appearance at the cost of distortions.
