Abstract

In the study of the history of science, scientific activity in the Eastern countries of the Middle Ages emphasized the contribution of foreign thinkers to the development of Geodetic and cartographic Sciences, and the study is one of the topical issues of Science today. The article highlights the role of the Geoinformation database in the history of the development of Geodesy and cartography, the database available in the Middle Ages, their importance on the path of science fiction. In addition, there was an opinion on the use of data and the methods of their processing. In the work, the cartographic scientific work of the Greek scientist Ptolemy and the eastern thinker Al-Khwarizmi was studied separately and the views on science were emphasized on the basis of that. As a result, the differences between the two maps, which are shown below, and in similar aspects, are discussed. In general, there are still many subjects that need to be studied and opened on this topic, as well as research work. And their study from the point of view of Geodesy and cartography remains one of the urgent tasks of specialists in the field today.
