Which Innovations in cartography made exploration much more pratical?
Innovations in cartography, such as the development of more accurate maps, the use of latitude and longitude for navigation, and the introduction of the compass, significantly enhanced exploration. The advent of the printing press allowed for the widespread distribution of these maps, making them accessible to explorers. Additionally, advancements in projection techniques, like the Mercator projection, helped represent the curved surface of the Earth on flat maps, improving navigational accuracy. These tools collectively made it easier for explorers to traverse unknown territories and navigate the seas.
