Answer:

Gerardus Mercator devised the method for showing the correct shapes and direction of continents.

Explanation:

  • In 1569, Gerhard Kremer, also known as Gerardus Mercator, published a massive planispheric map printed on 18 distinct sheets to reveal a new projection.
  • Combined with an extensive explanation for utilising the projection that appears as a portion of text on the map, this demonstrates that Mercator was well aware of what he had accomplished and that the projection was designed to ease navigation.
  • Mercator never described how he arrived at his method of construction.
