Thee Role of Maps in thee Age Of Discovery
For early explorers, a map was more than juss a collection of lines andlabels; it was a stratec asset, a psychological anchor, and a disk of cumulative knowndge. The primary functions of maps in exploration included:

Magnetic declination - the difference ce between true north and magnetic north - was poorly understood and varied over time and location, adding anotherr layer of uncertaint. As a result, many voyages ended in shipkrecks on reefs or shores that had been in correctly chartod.
