Map is not accurate
Jan 8, 2019 | By Elvis Etah
The map is not a true drawing of the world as seen in other maps. All countries are distorted. I have no idea what purpose the distortion serves. Otherwise, the information is accurate.
Staff's Response: Hello,
There are several types of maps. Maps change almost based on trends. The maps from 50 years ago are different than some of the more popular ones now. For instance, a Peters map shows everything or the world flat. Its great for navigation but not so good to show scale (proportion of sizes between countries) and perspective on global view which is the difference with the two examples you are showing. The reason Australia looks distorted and Alaska does too is because of the global view. It curves on the corners, the most. Everything is actually distorted except in the middle. It is currently the most recent trend in maps because it shows 'equal area'. This is the only map projection we sell in French.
