Gerardus Mercator was a cartographer renowned for creating the 1569 world map. He made the first attempt to draw the spherical earth on a paper. Making Maps in the Modern Period After the Industrial Revolution, two things happened: STRETCH: - Trade grew What is Industrial Revolution? - A wealthier middle class grew - Travel increased for those involved in trade (e.g. merchants), but also for the middle classes who were able to afford to visit new places. This created a new demand for mapmaking. To allow for this, maps became much smaller to allow people to travel with them. Later, as transport improved and became cheaper and accessible to more and more people, it became even more important to have up to date maps. Cartographers (mapmakers) put more effort in producing accurate and up to date maps which showed the road and rail network. In this way, maps became more factual and less decorative CHALLENGE: than they had been in the past.

GPS can smartphones, tell where users are, which people can now see direction they are traveling in, digital maps on and at what speed. their phones.  GPS, or the Global Positioning System, is a global navigation satellite system that provides location, velocity and time synchronization. GPS is everywhere. You can find GPS systems in your car, your smartphone and your watch. GPS helps you get where you are going, from point A to point B. The Global Positioning System,is a satellite-based radio navigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force. First launch: February 22, 1978; Nominal satellites: 24 Operator(s): US Space Force Orbital height: 20,180 km (12,540 mi) Being able to accurately locate and illustrate the Earth's physical features is fundamental to geography. Everything from the peaks of mountains to the lowest point of a valley has a coordinate, and GPS enables that coordinate to be accurately accounted for.  Subheading- What is a map?
