Basic Guide To Adc Maps

By Christa Jarvis


Map is a graphical representation of measuring and portion generally on a two dimensional surface area, but it can also be spherical as in globes. Map has the metric properties means that it must be possible to take measurements of distances, angles or surfaces on it and get a result that may be related to same measurements made in real world (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.

Tours of Venetians and Genoese within Africa, and large runs of Portuguese and Spanish along the coast of continent-and later the American-gave a new boost to mapping. In Mexico, indigenous leaders, as Hernan Cortes, had geographical map drawn on paper of maguey and skins, and cotton fabrics, sisal and palm, in which he drew with vegetable colors and sometimes were given a finish with varnish.

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.

The modulus of linear deformation increases with latitude toward the north pole or south pole, being infinite in both poles. A parallel equidistant in terrestrial sphere correspond well, on map, increasingly spaced lines.

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.
