Why do computer mapmakers digitize map data?
to display on a computer screen
What is a question normally asked by mapmakers before they design a new map?
How large are each of the map elements?
What do computers mapmakers digitize map data so that they can?
The main purpose is to add further layers to make digitised maps based on other variables.
Which part of the earth is best reflected on a map?
The part of the Earth that is best reflected on a map is the surface. Maps reflect borders of countries or territories as well as physical features like mountains.
Why do mapmakers have to choose between showing the correct land shapes or distance on the earth?
Because it is impossible to show both.
Do mapmakers draw the equator on a map to divide the earth north and south or east and west?
The equator is drawn on a map to represent a line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It does not divide the Earth into east and west, but rather into two equal halves based on latitude.
What did Christofer Columbus do?
They are both map mapmakers.
What do Mapmaker's use to represent distances between points on a map?
Mapmakers use scale to represent distances between points on a map.
Why do mapmakers use map projections?
Mapmakers use map projections to represent the surface of the Earth in two dimensions. Since the Earth is a 3D shape, it is impossible to show its entire surface on a flat map without distorting some aspects. Map projections help minimize these distortions and allow us to navigate and understand geographic information more effectively.
What is the process by which mapmakers convert the location of map points to numbers?
digitizing

When computer mapmakers digitize map data they?
convert the data into computer language
With computers mapmakers can store process and display map data electronically?

Why did European mapmakers in the middle ages sometimes leave blank spots on their map?
