Where do map makers get the information they need to make a map?
Elainemotsinger
Compasses and GPS devices are some of the most important tools. They help cartographers establish a better view of the area while providing accurate directions. Paperwork and historical resources also establish more information about surroundings through details such as mining charts or historical floods.

How does longitude and latitude help map makers?
It's really not intended for the purpose of helping mapmakers. That system of measurement is intended to make life easier for the people who have to find their way from place to place on the Earth's surface ... the sailors, fliers, and drivers, who can't rely on what they see outside their window to take them where they need to go. The map-makers also contribute to this effort.
