Formal definition Let X and Y be topological space s and let p be a map from X to Y that is continuous, closed map closed , surjective and such that p sup &minus 1 sup y is compact relative to X for each y in Y . Then p is known as a perfect map. Examples and properties 1. If p X Y is a perfect map and Y is compact space compact , then X is compact. 2. If p X Y is a perfect map and X is regular ... topology. 3. If p X Y is a perfect map and if X is locally compact , then Y is locally compact. 4. If p X Y is a perfect map and if X is second countable, then Y is second countable . 5. Every injective perfect map is a homeomorphism . This follows from the fact that a bijective closed map has a continuous inverse. 6. If p X Y is a perfect map and if Y is Connected space connected , then X need not be connected. For example, the constant map from a compact disconnected space to a singleton space is a perfect map. 7. A perfect map need not be open, as the following map shows p x x if x belongs to 1, 2 p x x &minus 1 if x belongs to 3, 4 This map is closed, continuous by the pasting lemma , and surjective and therefore is a perfect map the other condition is trivially satisfied .

The Soleto Map is an ancient map , which depicts Salento on a small piece of ostrakon derived from a terracotta vase. Background The map was discovered in Soleto southern Italy by Belgium Belgian archaeologist Thierry van Compernolle of Montpellier University on August 21, 2003. The map itself dates back to 500 BC and contains letters derived from a Greek script . The languages expressed on the map are both Ancient Greek language Greek and Messapian language Messapian . Moreover, the Soleto Map describes the city of Taranto called Taras , as well as other cities of Salento such as Soleto, Santa Maria di Leuca Leuca , Ugento , and Otranto . The map went on public display in 2005 at the Archaeological National Museum of Taranto. Controversy Even though the Soleto Map is considered the oldest map in Western culture Western civilization , there are allegations that it is a forgery. In the January February 2006 issue of the Netherlands Dutch newspaper Geschiedenis Magazine , Dutch archaeologist Douwe Yntema of Vrije University in Amsterdam found the authenticity of the map questionable. Even though the ostrakon is ancient, the authenticity of the engravings are dubious. According to Yntema, the map looks like a school atlas with placenames engraved with north at the top. Moreover, the Soleto Map shows the towns as points rather than house symbols found on other ancient maps. Finally, the engravings follow the precise borders of the ostrakon itself, which can lead anyone to interpret the Soleto Map as being made after the terracotta vase was first broken.

Unreferenced date December 2007 Image Age of Empires 2 map screenshot.jpg right thumb A random map from Age of Empires II The Age of Kings . Age of Empires II The Conquerors The Conquerors expansion was the first game in the series to allow creation of custom random map scripts. In Video game gaming , a random map is a map generated randomness randomly by the computer, usually in Strategy video game strategy games. Random maps are often the core of single and multiplayer gameplay, aside from story based campaigns that are often shipped with the game. Each new game presents an unknown map, providing a new experience to the player, and an even playing field in multiplayer game multiplayer gaming . Random maps typically have a certain theme for example a naval random map with many small islands, or a gold rush map with a large amount of gold in the center of the map. The type of random map may also influence the game s game artificial intelligence artificial intelligence , with the AI employing different strategies optimized for each random map. Methods for generating such maps vary depending upon the topography of the game itself. A game which requires natural landscapes may use fractal subdivision to create convincing terrain, whereas a game set inside a structure such as a dungeon may use two dimensional maze algorithms. Some games allow the players to make their own random map scripts RMS , a form of Mod computer gaming game modification . Random map scripts provide instructions for generating the map, such as terrain types, resource locations, and many other factors. Random maps can also be used by scenario level design designer to unlock previously unavailable units. For example in Age of Kings, designers have used RMS to unlock new terrains and units. The unit terrain combination of fish on shoreless water is one such application of this technique. Another example is Empire Earth , where an unused dark red coloured cliff can be unlocked through a custom random map ... more details

Unreferenced date November 2010 The Map Library is a project of The Map Maker Trust Charitable organization charity , and supported by Map Maker Ltd. , for the supplying of free GIS data. The project website also hosts free conversion software for raster graphics raster and vector graphics vector files. As of November 2008, the only data sets available were for the continents of Africa and Central America . Statement of purpose From the website... The idea behind the Map Library is that the lack of good, simple maps is a serious obstacle to development in all kinds of fields, from health care to urban management, from de mining to environmental protection. The library s purpose is two fold to make public domain mapping data more readily available for developing countries, and to provide free, easy to use software to facilitate map making by non experts. The Map Library delivers data and software both on the internet and by post on CD for those with poor or no internet access. Data format and conversion The project data is managed in part by two pieces of software, each supporting different file formats and conversions. Raster Converter handles ECW file format ECW files these can be converted to BMP file format BMP , TIFF , and with external libraries, JPEG , and JPEG 2000 . Vector Converter handles MLB map library files these files can be converted to data files for ArcView , AutoCAD , and several other formats.
