Maps for the Whole Earth: Oceanic Voyages and the Birth of Modern Cartography


Today people everywhere consult maps on phones and mobile devices to find their way around. Centuries ago navigators began to use nautical charts for similar purposes. How did navigators find their position in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight? How did they use nautical charts? What is a nautical chart exactly?
