Explanation:
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. Modern maps are mass produced on quality paper.
The latest modern maps can come on digital media like CDs or internet and can show vast databases of related information. Ancient maps have finite space and information from their time that could be included
Modern maritime maps include hazards to shipping and depth contours.
Modern Topological maps include height contours to indicate the gradient of landforms.
Ancient Maps were often considered classified documents. Many colonial empires (Spanish, English, Portuguese etc) did not want them to get in the wrong hands for fear competitor nations might plunder or claim them as their own. Some maps were released with intentional mistakes for this reason.
