ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT MAPS

Good morning everyone!

I’m Isa, one of the journalists of the group.

I have been looking for additional information and I have found many websites and blogs that are very interesting.

Here I leave you some blogs that are about maps, map distortions and the history of map making (cartography). I think that they are very educational and we can learn a lot by studying them.

I have found another website about maps. It explains map projection, the different classes it has, commonly uses and some related links that are important too, if you want to learn more.

I hope you like it and hope it will be useful for you.
