Birthday today of #GerardusMercator, born in Rupelmonde, Flanders (1512-94). Created the world mapping technique-called the #MercatorProjection-by accurately projecting the globe onto a flat surface so that longitude & latitude lines would always be at right angles to each other.

2/4: 🧭 Navigators rely on rhumb lines for their simplicity: a single compass bearing guides a voyage. In 1569, Mercator maps revolutionized navigation by depicting lines of longitude as parallel, rendering all rhumb lines as straight segments. #MercatorProjection #RhumbLines
