Really, a 'map' from the 1400's? Case closed, thanks.
Seriously, actual explorations, on site measurements, verifiable data and satellite imagery don't weigh more heavily with you?
Something big happened after the 1400's, You MAY have heard about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Revolution
When you turn on the ignition in your vehicle, press the keys on your microwave, walk on to a long metal tube with wings, do you exclaim to yourself, magic?

The Scientific Revolution is traditionally assumed to start with the Copernican Revolution (initiated in 1543) and to be complete in the "grand synthesis" of Isaac Newton's 1687 Principia. Much of the change of attitude came from Francis Bacon whose "confident and emphatic announcement" in the modern progress of science inspired the creation of scientific societies such as the Royal Society, and Galileo who championed Copernicus and developed the science of motion.
In the 20th century, Alexandre Koyré introduced the term "scientific revolution", centering his analysis on Galileo. The term was popularized by Butterfield in his Origins of Modern Science. Thomas Kuhn's 1962 work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions emphasized that different theoretical frameworks—such as Einstein's relativity theory and Newton's theory of gravity, which it replaced—cannot be directly compared.
