Question

Ancient maps and modern maps differences

Answer 1

Ancient Maps had no lines of longitude (no accurate clocks to measure it with). Many had an elaborate compass rose in one corner. Modern maps only have a simple pointer to north (sometimes not even that). Ancient maps likely used hand made paper and inks.

Answer 2

Answer:

I actually thought there’d be many answers already. Perhaps the best answer is too simple: accuracy.

The Ancient maps = ancient maps were made by hand of course, and were based on fairly crude measurements of paces, strides and the like and directions only loosely related to NEWS. Clocks helped (as with navigation, latitude could be estimated by seeing what stars were above the horizon (or how high the sun seemed at its zenith), but longitude needed to know when they were seen).

Modern maps = Modern maps have the extraordinary advantage of precise locations of points, and even the benefit of direct overhead observation, and are no longer hand drawn.
