| Description |
English: Analysis of the 1552 Gomara map with a modern square projection. The grid is in 10° and based on Ferro. The results were unexpected. The fit from West Africa to India is better in longitude then in latitude. The accuracy in Middle and North America is surprisingly good. The Gulf of Mexico is much better then Europe north of Spain. Such longitude data could not be acquired by the navigation we know from the 16th century. |
