A lot has been said and written about this distortion and the fact that Google Maps uses a Mercator Projection which makes it easier to seamlessly zoom to local areas has been criticized by lovers of accurate maps.

Mercator projection map

. A great tool for educators. The Mercator projection was developed in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator as a navigational tool. A world map projection is a visual representation of this challenge using a grid composed of lines of longitude and latitude. Die in der Kartografie verwendete Mercator-Projektion ist eine nach dem Kartografen Gerhard Mercator benannte Form der Zylinderprojektion bei der die Projektion in Richtung der Zylinderachse adäquat verzerrt ist um eine winkeltreue Abbildung der Erdoberfläche zu erreichen.

This maps grid is rectangular and lines of latitude and longitude are parallel throughout. Hybrid of Collignon Lambert cylindrical equal-area. File usage on Commons. For example the basic Mercator projection is unique.

Mercator projection is the display of a map of the world onto a cylinder in a way where all of the parallels of latitude have the same length as the equator. Now you may ask what a cylindrical map projection is. Depending on configuration the projection also may map the sphere to a single diamond or a pair of squares. It is often described as a cylindrical projection but it must be derived mathematically.

This is the map that we see in classrooms all over the world. Click here or on the image to toggle projections. The image is showing a section of the complete projection. Add a one-line explanation of what.

This is also the map that formulates our basic ideas of what our planet looks like. In fact even Google Maps uses the Mercator map. Gall-Peters Silhouette Map c Tobias Jung Mercator Silhouette Map c Tobias Jung. 320 237 pixels 640 473 pixels.

The mercator projection is a commonly used projection on computer maps because it has perpendicular latitude and longitude lines forming rectangles. Cut off at 84 North and South. The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer - Gerardus Mercator - in 1569. In 1569 the great cartographer Gerardus Mercator created a revolutionary new map based on a cylindrical projection.

Mercator projection map. This map projection is practical for nautical applications due to its ability to represent lines of constant course known as rhumb lines as straight segments that conserve the angles with the meridians. Original file File information. Is Greenland really as big as all of Africa.

This incredible map tool reveals just how much the Mercator map. You may be surprised at what you find. The map most commonly used in the world is the Mercator map. Standard parallels set to 20 and 30 North just because I thought that this results in a somewhat appealing world map image.

If you want to see just how far off the Mercator projection is check it out. Mercator projection a projection of a map of the world on to a cylinder in such a way that all the parallels of latitude have the same length as the equator invented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator 151294. 800 591 pixels. It was first published in 1569 and used especially for marine charts and certain climatological maps.

This method is useful for specific climatological maps and marine charts because it creates a display that offers features that are easier to read for the average person. In Cartography any map projection of the terrestrial sphere done on the surface of a cylinder unrolled as a plane is known as a cylindrical projection.

Drag and drop countries around the map to compare their relative size. The new map was well-suited to nautical navigation since every line on the sphere is a constant course or loxodrome. Small-scale Mercator map of the world disappears almost completely on a properly oriented large-scale Transverse Mercator map of a small area in the same high latitudes. Mercator projection type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator.

The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569. It yields the only map on which a straight linedrawn anywhere within its bounds shows a particular type of direction but distances and areas aregrossly distorted near the maps polar regions.
