Our world maps today are incredibly accurate, except that we still have difficulty depicting a round earth on a flat piece of paper without skewing parts of it. Can you spot a story that’s familiar to you? It would’ve been used to teach stories rather than navigate. Furthermore, mapmakers of their day really couldn’t have made the accurate maps we use today because we rely on satellite imagery that wasn’t available all those years ago.įirst, take a look at this Mappa Mundi. Instead, they were more like medieval encyclopedias that were used to illustrate stories, show directions, and tell about species of animals, other races of people, and plants from places near and far. The European maps from these medieval times are called Mappae Mundi (meaning “cloth of the world”) and they really weren’t intended to be used for finding your way around at all. The first maps made of our earth weren’t very accurate at all. Layers of Learning has hands-on experiments in every unit of this family-friendly curriculum. The Grid on our Earth map exploration is a geography exploration from Unit 1-3 about motion. Unit 1-3: Europe, Global Grids, Earth & Moon, Crafts Building A Layers of Learning Homeschool.Conversely, if you inserted a regular measured grid and change the coordinate system to a UTM system these components become available. If you change the grid’s coordinate system to a non-UTM system some components, like Grid Zone Designation Labels, will be removed because they are no longer applicable.
When you add an MGRS grid from the default grid styles, Pro automatically determines what UTM zone your map is in and sets the grid to that coordinate system (if your map falls in more than one zone, only one is selected). MGRS grids also work for some industry specifications. If you need to provide more context for UTM coordinates, an MGRS grid may be right for you. The UTM coordinate system has some additional grid components, like 100,000m Grid Zone Labels and Grid Zone Designation Labels. MGRS ( Military Grid Reference System) grids are special measured grids showing UTM coordinates. Here 2 MGRS grids are used to show the correct coordinates.
Stockholm, Sweden is a city split between 2 UTM zones.
