How Maps Made trading Easier

Maps are pictures of how the world around us looks like by measuring distance of land, altitude and how vegetated an area is. Maps create a visual representation of the area around. Thus leaving explorers to wonder what else lies out across the oceans.

Christopher Columbus "discovered" the new world on accident. He has originally planned to travel to India in search of spices. Also it was because of this one error on the route that he ended of side tracking and landing on this "new world". Which lead to the creation of a new route used by the British as the triangle trade route.
