Who is the person that create the first modern map?

Answer 1

Gerardus Mercator developed the map that is sliced up at the north and south poles.Impshum

a map of the world is a map that shows every country and every piece of land and its what i have

Answer 2

Al Biruni developed the theory of azimuthal equidistant projection of which polar projection is a part. These maps are usually used to depict regions. Polar centered azimuthal projections show all lines of longitude by straight lines, and all lines of latitude as concentric circles (parallels).

Answer 3

The projection is:

where is an auxiliary angle defined by

and is the longitude from the central meridian, and is the latitude.

Equation (1) may be solved with rapid convergence (but slow near the poles) using Newton-Raphson iteration:

If φ = ±π/2, then also θ = ±π/2. In that case the iteration should be bypassed; otherwise, division by zero may result.

Answer 4

Gerardus Mercator, a Flemish cartographer, is credited with creating the first modern map projection, known as the Mercator projection, in 1569. This projection greatly improved navigation for sailors because it represented lines of constant course as straight lines on the map.

Answer 5

That depends on the projection. Many projections are named after their author (Robinson, Mercator, etc.).

Answer 6

The famous projection map maker,no lie was Gerardus Mercator.

Answer 7

Geradus Mercator, a Flemish Belgian in 1569

Answer 8

Gerardus Mercator
