Map Projections
Map projections are an integral part of cartography, in particular for those maps which show a significant portion of the world. No map projection of the whole world is a true representation in all aspects because it is impossible to accurately transfer what appears on a spherical surface (the world) onto a flat surface (the map).
A variety of different projections are utilised for world maps depending on the map's function. Using the checkboxes below you can compare 5 projections often used for world map production.
