Projections for maps: New conformal world maps derived from elliptic functionsThis paper gave a short resume of the history of the subject under consideration, and then a number of slides were shown to illustrate what had previously been done along this line and to show what recent advances ...
Really cool projection, but it appears the world doesn’t fit together anymore. Are you planning on finishing the Atlas? Reply Joe says April 21, 2023 at 2:15 pm Well done! Nicely highlights the impact of using conformal vs. equal are projections. ReplyLeave...
Depending on the purpose of the map, some distortions are acceptable and others are not; therefore, different map projections exist in order to preserve some properties of the sphere-like body at the expense of other properties. There is no limit to the number of possible map projections. The...

Map projections can be constructed to preserve one or some of map regions properties (area, shape, direction, bearing, distance, scale), though not all of them simultaneously. Each projection preserves or compromises or approximates basic metric properties in different ways. The purpose of the ...
