Al-Idrisi is one of the most well-known cartographers to have produced early maps of the world. The art, science, and technology of creating maps, plans, charts, and other forms of graphical expression, as well as its study and usage, are collectively referred to as cartography. Consequently, someone who creates maps is a cartographer. Typically, cartographers gather and validate the data necessary to create maps while on the field. Al-Idrisi, an Arab cartographer, drew a map of India around 1154 CE. This demonstrated how far geography had come at the time.
