During the Age of Discovery the European inventions of engraving and movable type spread cartographic knowledge by word and image. Other advances in technology, such as compass navigation and improved ship designs, paved the way for global exploration and trade. During the 15th and 16th centuries European cartographers drew on three map-making traditions, Christian iconography, the classical cartographic heritage, and contemporary portolan charts.
