Benjamin Franklin was the first to map the gulf stream.
The first chart or map of the Gulf Stream was created in the late 1700s by Benjamin Franklin and Timothy Folger to help expedite travel across the Atlantic Ocean. They aimed to assist ships by providing information on the current's location and speed to improve navigation and reduce travel time.
He did not invent anything. If you are looking for the map, He did in fact make the "New World" map for South America
You can tell if a stream is flowing into a pond on a topographic map by looking at the contour lines around the stream and pond. If the contour lines of the stream are crossing over and descending towards the pond, it indicates that the stream is flowing into the pond. Additionally, the elevation values of the contour lines can also help determine the flow direction.
Three example names for a waterway: stream, river, canal.
A stream,river or another body of water.
It was not as put together as today's computer generated maps.

Benjamin Franklin conducted early research on the Gulf Stream and published a map of its course in 1769. Timothy Folger, a Nantucket whaler, shared his knowledge of the Gulf Stream with Franklin, contributing to the understanding of its speed and direction. William Gerard De Brahm, a colonial surveyor, also made significant contributions to the study of the Gulf Stream through his mapping and documentation of its characteristics.
Benjamin Franklin found a nantucket whaling captin's map furnished the answer. Going against the Gulf stream ships sailed West up to 110 km oer day...This is what Benjamin Franklin found out... Thanks Kayla=]
No, he did not invent glasses to see special maps.
Electricity; he invented the lightning rod. Metals; he developed a more efficient stove. Printing; he ran a printing shop for many years. Oceanography; Franklin was the first person to map the Gulf Stream. Astronomy; his almanac was superb. Timekeeping; his description of the cycle of leap years was outstanding. Benjamin Franklin was a "polymath"; he was a genius, and studied everything around him.
As a colonial postmaster, Franklin was responsible for ensuring that packages were promptly sent between England and its American colonies. When people asked why packages took so much longer to get from London to Philadelphia than the other way around, Franklin had an experienced sea captain, Tim Folger, map out ocean currents. Although this work done by Franklin resulted in the naming of the "Gulf Stream" and its first accurate mapping, he did not discover this current.
He was curious. That's how it was discovered, when traders noticed that the trip from US to Europe went faster than the return trip, which would be expected with winds, but then in some areas it became even faster. Eventually it was figured out there was a fast surface current running up the Eastern US and then cutting over to Europe.
