Depending on the purpose of the map, some distortions are acceptable and others are not. Therefore, various map projections have been developed in order to preserve some properties of the spherical earth, at the expense of other properties.
Today there are more than one thousand map projections. The most common ones include the Mercator projection, gall-peters projection, Robinson projection, Waterman projections, Goode-Homolosine etc.

ReplyDeleteWhat’s the point of albers
ReplyDeleteRegional maps, mostly, like a map of Australia or a map of eastern Asia. You adjust how bent it is to match the region you're mapping. It also represents areas exactly, like Goode homolosine and Gall–Peters.
