He was the first to use longitude and latitude for sailors. Mercator was also very good at making an accurate map of Western Europe. Later Mercator lectured at Duisburg where he took some time off to make

A map projection is used to portray all or part of the round Earth on a flat surface. This cannot be done without some distortion. For example, the basic Mercator projection is unique; it yields the only map on which a straight line drawn anywhere within its bounds shows a particular type of direction, but distances and areas are grossly distorted near the map's polar regions. It was introduced by Geradus Mercator in 1569. Gerardus Mercator

   Gerardus Mercator. Gerardus Mercator (15121594), Latin name of GerhardKremer, was a Flemish cartographer, geographer and mathematician  
   http://www.famousbelgians.net/mercator.htm
   
   Extractions: Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594), Latin name of Gerhard Kremer, was a Flemish cartographer, geographer and mathematician best known for his mapping work, especially the Mercator projection, which used straight lines to indicate latitude and longitude. He was born in Rupelmonde. In 1537 he produced his first map. Mercator studied in Leuven, Belgium, under Gemma Frisius, and in 1552 he became a mapmaker and lecturer at the University of Dvisburg. His map of Europe (published in 1554) was the best of its kind for many decades. He produced a map of the British Isles in 1564 and in the same year was made court cosmographer to Duke William of Cleve. In 1568 he devised and produced a system of map projection, now called Mercator projection. This system represents meridians by parallel lines and parallels of latitude by straight lines intersecting the meridians at right angles. Only four copies of this map are known to exist. Mercator's great Atlas (begun in 1569), in which he sought to describe the creation and history of the world, was printed in its unfinished state by his son in 1595.

    http://www.walkingtree.com/mercator.html
    
    Extractions: Gerardus Mercator, 1512 - 1594 Considered by many to be the greatest cartographer of early modern times, Gerardus Mercator was born Gerhard Kremer of German parents in the town of Rapelmonde near Antwerp on March 5, 1512. Like many other intellectuals of his time, very early in his life he Latinized his German name, which meant 'merchant,' and changed it to the name by which we know him. Mercator means 'world trader.' Mercator was one of the first mapmakers to cut up maps and bind them inside boards, later coining the term 'atlas' to refer to such collections of maps. He is best-known to us today for his celebrated cylindrical world map projection, first used in 1569, which enabled navigators to plot a long course in straight lines. One of the most revolutionary inventions in the history of cartography, Mercator's projection has greatly influenced our image of the world.

    Extractions: The Mercator projection takes its name from Gerardus Mercator, a 16th-Century Dutch mapmaker who devised a flat map that represents latitude and longitude as perpendicular lines. While this particular map projection suffers from making the North and South Poles vastly larger than they actually are, it does offer sailors the practical opportunity to chart an accurate course by drawing straight lines on a map.
