a map projection is any of a broad set of transformations employed to represent the curved two-dimensional surface of a globe on a plane. In a map projection...

map projections that have articles of their own on Wikipedia or that are otherwise notable. Because there is no limit to the number of possible map projections...

The Mercator projection (/mərˈkeɪtər/) is a conformal cylindrical map projection presented by Flemish geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator in...

The Gall–Peters projection is a rectangular, equal-area map projection. Like all equal-area projections, it distorts most shapes. It is a cylindrical...

The Winkel tripel projection (Winkel III), a modified azimuthal map projection of the world, is one of three projections proposed by German cartographer...

The Dymaxion map or Fuller map is a projection of a world map onto the surface of an icosahedron, which can be unfolded and flattened to two dimensions...

the plate carrée projection (also called the geographic projection, lat/lon projection, or plane chart), is a simple map projection attributed to Marinus...

world map is a map of most or all of the surface of Earth. World maps, because of their scale, must deal with the problem of projection. Maps rendered...

stereographic projection, also known as the planisphere projection or the azimuthal conformal projection, is a conformal map projection whose use dates...

In cartography, a conformal map projection is one in which every angle between two curves that cross each other on Earth (a sphere or an ellipsoid) is...
