is well known for its distortions of areas at high latitudes. It turns out that another projection — the azimuthal equidistant projection – provides exactly what we want: It measures distance ...

By their calculations, the Mercator projection scores 8.296 and Winkel Tripel does better at 4.563. Their own azimuthal equidistant double-sided projection, meanwhile, scores 0.881. “We believe ...

The Dymaxion map “is the only flat map of the entire surface of the Earth which reveals our planet as one island in one ocean, without any visually obvious distortion of the relative shapes and ...
