The map is presented on Mercator's projection and centered on Australasia and the Pacific. The routes of the Endeavour (1768-71), and Resolution (1772-75 and 1776-80) are traced with occasional notes along the tracks. Lt. Robert's began his compilation under Cook's supervision and completed it after Cook's death. It was used in the official account of the third voyage.
