Twol sea monsters and a sailing ship appear in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The projection of America is based upon Mercator’s Wall map of 1569, as is most of the other cartographic detail. ![]() In comparison to his previous versions of the World, South America has lost its curious bulge. A curious projection of Japan and Southeast Asia is shown. It also mentions place names reported by Marco Polo. The map includes a Northwest Passage and Northeast Passage and a massive Southern Continent which is attached to New Guinea. The title is given in large letters above the image and below, is a quotation from Cicero in Latin: “What do human affairs signify when one considers the vastness of the world and all eternity?” This map was made by Francois De Belleforest and it is based upon the cartography of Gastaldi and Gerard Mercator’s highly important 1569 wall map. First issued in 1570 and expanded over the next forty two years to this final Vrients edition of Ortelius’ masterwork, the Theatrum revolutionized the presentation of maps to an increasingly educated classes of Renaissance Europe and became the standard from which most cartographic works of the period were copied.Įach of the five maps offered here were the standards for their time, drawn from the most important wall maps produced by Mercator, Ortelius and other leading European mapmakers and represented the completion of the shift of importance from the Italian mapmakers of the mid-16th Century (the so-called Lafreri School of mapmakers), to the Low Countries, marking the beginning of the Golden Age of Dutch Cartography. Ortelius’ Theatrum was perhaps the single most influential set of maps published in the 16th Century. Perhaps do a UTX and Global Vector cost comparison to see which will give you what you are looking for.Ortelius: his World – Continents maps A Unique set from the same French atlas 1598Įarly matching set of maps of the World and Continents, from Abraham Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern World Atlas, 1598. I would say you should buy UTX packages and Global but I don't have a full understanding of the new Orbx Vector and how much it will cost. Global is soon going to be enhanced by its own version of vector elements which will then make UTX mostly unnecessary. Many users of Global textures are also using UTX which improves greatly the vector elements of you sim. ![]() A good understanding of the three is important to knowing what you might want to do with your sim. You should go to Flight1 website and read up on GEX, UTX and head over to Orbx and read up on Global. ![]() GEX and Global are not compatible, only one can be running on your sim at a time as one replaces the other. This is similar to GEX which also does the same thing. Global replaces the default texture sets with all new versions. UTX is mostly vector scenery, ie coastlines, lakes, roads, creeks and rivers, hydrolines.however they do include some custom textures that can be turned on and off. ![]()
