A cartographer is a person who deals with the art, science and technology of making and using maps. Cartographer may also refer to: geography, album by E.S. Posthumus; The Cartographer, extended play by The Republic of Wolves; Cartographers (board game), a board game designed by Jordy Adan
Minecraft Earth was an augmented reality and geolocation-based sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios and Blackbird interactive and published by Xbox Game Studios. A spin-off of the video game Minecraft , it was first announced in May 2019, and was available on Android and iOS .
According to Planet Minecraft statistics, Greenfield is the third-most downloaded Minecraft map of all time. [ 6 ] Greenfield is designed to resemble the West Coast of the United States, heavily inspired by Los Angeles , [ 2 ] and is built to a one-to-one scale, with each block's size being one cubic meter.

In cartography, a locator map, or just a locator, is typically a simple map used to show the location of a particular geographic region within its larger and presumably more familiar context. Depending on the needs of the cartographer, this type of map can be used on its own or as an inset or addition to a larger map.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cartography: Cartography (also called mapmaking ) – study and practice of making and using maps or globes . Maps have traditionally been made using pen and paper , but the advent and spread of computers has revolutionized cartography.
In mathematics, a conformal map is a function that locally preserves angles, but not necessarily lengths.. More formally, let and be open subsets of .A function : is called conformal (or angle-preserving) at a point if it preserves angles between directed curves through , as well as preserving orientation.
Computer cartography (also called digital cartography) is the art, science, and technology of making and using maps with a computer. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This technology represents a paradigm shift in how maps are produced, but is still fundamentally a subset of traditional cartography.
In cartography, a conformal map projection is one in which every angle between two curves that cross each other on Earth (a sphere or an ellipsoid) is preserved in the image of the projection; that is, the projection is a conformal map in the mathematical sense. For example, if two roads cross each other at a 39° angle, their images on a map ...
