Scale 1: Topographic base : Müller map of Hungary 1 : (1709) Mapping method a la vue from a horse view + tracking Original maps in eight colors Height : hatching higher - darker Position accuracy : 1-2 kilometres Derivated maps : map of Hungary 1 :

4 2nd. Military mapping ( ) Over Slovakia : and Also the caesar Francis I. mapping Scale 1: Topographic base : trigonometric network + cadastral mapping Projection : similar to Cassini Soldner projecton Eight color originals + 3 tone of gray Hypsometry : Lehmann s hatchings more slope, more line density Position accuracy : metres Derivated map scale : 1 : :

5 3rd. Military mapping ( ) Only black and white map copies saved over the Slovakia Scale 1: Topographic base : trigonometric network + cadastral mapping Projection: polyedric projection (trapezoidal) Eleven color originals Hypsometry : combination of altitudes, line contours, hatches and shading of rocks Position accuracy : aprox. 50 m Derivated scales : 1 : : :
