New techniques and instruments allowed for more accurate mapmaking, reflecting the growing knowledge of the world's geography.
Mercator's map projection, developed in 1569, revolutionized navigation by accurately representing the shape of landmasses.
These detailed nautical charts provided essential information for sailors, including coastlines, harbors, and navigational hazards.
Maps became increasingly detailed and informative, incorporating new discoveries and shaping European perceptions of the world.
The exchange of plants and animals between the Old World (Europe, Asia, Africa) and the New World (Americas) transformed agriculture and diets.
