In sixteenth century many cartographers produced maps that were incorporated the growing information they supplied navigators and explorers. Abraham Ortelius, a Flemish cartographer, born in 1527, became a famous mathematician before turning his activity in geography and cartography. In 1570 he published his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas, a work considered the first immediate commercial success within its kind (adc maps).
Ptolemy (second century AD) picked up all the knowledge of his predecessors and presents the first comprehensive overview of cartographic progress to time. He published a method on the determination of coordinates based on meridians and parallels. With the work of Ptolemy began the chance to see the world in a new way: through map.
The universe in general (and the Solar System in particular) certainly offer new grounds for this work having origins immemorial. Using techniques based on satellite photography has made it possible not only to know the exact contours of country, a continent, or the world, but also ethnological, historical, statistical, hydrographic, terrain, geomorphological, geological, and economic factors that lead men to their wider environment, the planet we live knowledge.
Became internationally famous in 1554 by a large map of Europe. On a world map of 1569 used map projection system was later named after him. This is a cylindrical representation with straight and parallel and meridian circles of equal latitude, and has the advantage that the straight lines connecting two points maintain a steady course, facilitating navigation compass.
To meet these demands, the cartographer can create multiple "levels of reading." At all times we should consider the simplification techniques, based on colors or symbols, bearing in mind that in a plane close reading can get detailed information elements. The amount of information must relate proportionately to scale. The larger the space dedicated to a region, the greater the number of data elements that can bring about them.
At the time of discovery of America highlighted the great cartographers and Diego Mendez, Juan de la Cosa, Pedro and Jorge Reinel, Sebastiano Caboto, Oronteus Finaeus, Desceliers and in a very special way, Gerardus Mercator, who in 1569 first used the canevas projection. As a curious fact is that Amerigo Vespucci, who received the great honor of naming the New World, was actually a prominent cartographer but not outstanding, and the perhaps undeserved honor that was done, was because an editor who published first map of new lands, pointed and the name was popularized in an irreversible way.
Maybe they have not passed a single arrow indicating direction between two points, but still can considered as a first cartographic sketch. The natives of Marshall Islands and elaborated prehistoric proto-map on lattices of palm shells, representing "nautical charts" and indicating the curvature of wave fronts. Also noteworthy as background, cards made by primitive Eskimos on the hydrography of regions they inhabited.
For this reason, the cartographer Martin Waldseemuller used in his map of 1507 the name "America" as a designation for the New World. Vespucci began to draw map of their travels in Americas when installed in Seville (1508) in service of King Ferdinand. Both Solis, Pinzon, Juan de la Cosa and Vespucci contributed their expeditions to path of early map it is known on the American continent.
