Popis:	Erhard Etzlaub's cartography is a product of a conceptual method of projection. For his Romweg map (1500) Etzlaub developed a geographical system of representation which allowed compass orientation according to the principles of stereographic projection. At the same time, the map offered a way of determining distance along the main European routes from a scale of dots. It also combined elements of the popular Ptolemaic‐style ‘land’ maps with a representation of towns designed to meet the demands of a functional travel and road map. Etzlaub transferred these principles of a conformai projection to his Compass Map (1511) by using a projection with varying latitudes. The Compass Map is thus a logical continuation of the projective principles of his first maps and their transformation into an innovative model.
