Information Is BeautifulAnother reasons to tut at the Mercator Map projection - how a circle with a radius of 5,000km, centred on Paris, looks according the Mercator map
Marty Fouts@infobeautiful All projections have distortions, so why single out Mercator?
Tor Lillqvist@MartyFouts @infobeautiful Exactly. Somebody just bickering about the Mercator really gives the impression that they don’t know much about map projections but have read the usual almost conspiracy theory level stories about the Mercator.
