Summary[edit]

Description
English: Compass rose of the Geocarta Nautica Universale ("Worldwide Maritime Chart") or 1523 Turin Map believed to have been made by Giovanni/Juan Vespucci from the Spanish royal standard map (Padron Real) held by the House of Trade (Casa de Contratacion) in Seville, Spain. Vespucci had been involved with the map's revision after various expeditions and with the geodesic research and arguments over the exact position of the demarcation line called for by the Treaty of Tordesillas. This is the first extant map recording the results of the Magellan expedition which Elcano returned to Seville in 1522 and the first recording the full extent of the Pacific Ocean.
