Total commoner here that does not understand projection and such on maps, but I know that the popular map and commercial globe somehow does not show the true size of a country/area.
My first question is, how could a globe (which supposed to be a representation of earth from space) does not represent true size of an area?
Second one, can we produce a map that shows the true size of an area but can also be used for navigation?
Simple is relative I guess. I thought the article touched on the basics and even provided links to more in depth explanations.
There’s nothing simple about converting 3D to 2D. The best way I can think of is to show it happen in real time either physically or with animation to show how it works. Words are nothing compared to visualization in my own experience.
