Answer:
In the middle ages, transportation was significantly different. It was a lot more difficult to travel from one place to another. Transportation wasn't as advanced. Since they didn't have cars back then, people mainly traveled on foot, horses, mules, or carts. However, traveling by water was a lot more efficient since there weren't any roads yet either. Medieval boats were made of wood and most were powered by wind. Other than that, vehicles such as wagons were mainly used to haul heavy loads around.
In 400 A.D., muddy tracks replaced roads. This was, of course, a huge change in the transportation of this time. However, there were many many more changes to follow.
In the year 800 A.D., mapmakers in the middle east made maps taking the idea of the Earth being a sphere into consideration.
Then, In 1050, a new map of the world was made. What would be called an atlas in our time, was called the Mappa Mundi in the medieval times. It showed the parts of Asia and and Africa that Europeans knew of. It became the most commonly used map in Western Europe.
After that , 4 wheeled wagons were more common, instead of 2 wheeled carts in 1100.
Finally, in 1375, Europeans took in the ideas of latitude and longitude. This helped many people locate the exact points on a map of the world. Since then, many well-known people came and went, shaping the world of transportation into what we have today.
