Born Gerard de Cremere (or Kremer) in Rupelmonde . "Mercator" is the Latinized form of his name. It means "merchant" or "marketeer". Educated in 's-Hertogenbosch and at the University of Louvain . He travelled extensively, which provoked a keen interest in geography . He returned to Louvain and worked with Gemma Frisius and Gaspar Myrica. They worked together from to to construct a terrestrial globe . Later, Mercator produced a map of Palestine ), another map of the world ( ) and a map of Flanders ( Mercator was charged with heresy in and spent seven months in prison. In , he moved to Duisburg where he opened a cartographic workshop. He completed a six-panel map of Europe ( ) and he taught mathematics . He produced more maps and he was appointed Court Cosmographer to Duke Wilhelm of Cleve in . He devised a new projection and first used it in ; it had parallel lines of longitude to aid navigation by sea, as compass courses could be marked as straight lines. He took the word

104. The Mercator Projection
An article by Fred Roeder in the Professional Surveyor describes why and howGerardus mercator developed The mercator Chart.

THE MERCATOR CHART Gerardus Mercator
Developed for navigation, the strength of the Mercator Chart is its conformality. That is, at any intersection of longitude and latitude, it maintains all angular relationships thus correct azimuths. For a navigator, then, a straight line plotted from point A to point B on the chart would represent a rhumb line. A rhumb crosses all meridians at a constant azimuth allowing the navigator to set a compass orientation and proceed forthright. On The Mercator Chart a rhumb is always a straight line, whereas the corresponding great circle is a curved line (unlike the Gnomonic where the converse is true). Tissot's Indicatrix indicates numerically the property of conformality. Thus it is that The Mercator Chart is not a good map for global viewing (a better one for viewing might be Gall's ) but excellent for navigation. An article by Fred Roeder in the Professional Surveyor describes why and how Gerardus Mercator developed The Mercator Chart.
