How big is that island, really?
The Mercator projection, introduced in 1569, revolutionized navigation by representing lines of constant course, known as rhumb lines, as straight segments. This innovation was invaluable for sailors charting their paths across the seas. 🧵⬇️ (1/3)

Mercator made his charts (not maps) to facilitate one thing: navigation. His charts allowed for easy navigation through rhumb lines (they remain straight lines on the chart) and reduced navigation errors www.bbc.com/news/article...
UN votes to adopt new world map to reflect Africa's true size
The Togo-sponsored resolution was backed by 164 nations - with the US as the only nation to vote against it.

For #MapMonday today we have this Portolan atlas - a series of navigational maps marked with place names and rhumb-lines - written in Venice between 1535 and 1538. It is probably from the workshop of Battista Agnese. (LJS 28)

Today’s Adventures in Cocktails with Andrew is the R. B. Ginger - a spicy and effervescent cocktail with rum, Cointreau, lemon juice, simple syrup, muddled ginger, and ginger beer. I used Merriedale Cowichan Rhumb, which is a rum made with local honey instead of sugar. Delicious! Recipe below! 🍸🍽️🍴🫚🐝

Since I would lay a master navigation track for every single major Navy deployment, on the way to the airport today I tried explaining to my wife how her flight would follow what’s called a Rhumb Line track. She looked at me like I was speaking in Chinese 😂

I’m a sailor. You can’t navigate a ship the way we do if the earth is flat. Great circle, rhumb line. I’ve sailed around the earth and never bumped into an ice wall.

In the case of loxodromes/rhumb lines, they’re much easier to follow with a compass since compasses are oriented to the latitude/longitude frame
