   Arithmetic mean of the equirectangular projection and the Aitoff projection. Standard world projection for the NGS since 1998. 1904 Van der Grinten: Pseudoconic Compromise Alphons J. van der Grinten: Boundary is a circle. All parallels and meridians are circular arcs. Usually clipped near 80°N/S. Standard world projection of the NGS in 1922 ...

3. List of national coordinate reference systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national...

   Given that every projection gives deformations, each country's needs are different in order to reduce these distortions. These national projections, or national Coordinate Reference Systems are officially announced by the relevant national agencies. The list below is a collection of available official national projected Coordinate Reference ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_off...

   Some of the free software mentioned here does not have detailed maps (or maps at all) or the ability to follow streets or type in street names (no geocoding). However, in many cases, it is also that which makes the program free (and sometimes open source [ 1 ] ), avoid the need of an Internet connection, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] and make it very ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkel_tripel_projection

   By a different metric, Capek's "Q", the Winkel tripel ranked ninth among a hundred map projections of the world, behind the common Eckert IV projection and Robinson projections. [6] In 1998, the Winkel tripel projection replaced the Robinson projection as the standard projection for world maps made by the National Geographic Society. [3]

6. Gall–Peters projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gall–Peters_projection

   The Gall–Peters projection of the world map. The Gall–Peters projection is a rectangular, equal-area map projection. Like all equal-area projections, it distorts most shapes. It is a cylindrical equal-area projection with latitudes 45° north and south as the regions on the map that have no distortion. The projection is named after James ...

7. Armadillo projection - Wikipedia

   Tissot indicatrix on Raisz armadillo projection, 15° graticule. Color shows angular deformation and areal inflation/deflation in a bivariate scheme: The lighter the color, the less distortion. The redder, the more angular distortion. The greener, the more areal inflation or deflation. The armadillo projection is a map projection used for world ...

9. Map projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection

   Therefore, more generally, a map projection is any method of flattening a continuous curved surface onto a plane. [citation needed] The most well-known map projection is the Mercator projection. [7]: 45 This map projection has the property of being conformal. However, it has been criticized throughout the 20th century for enlarging regions ...
