Tom PattersonThe Equal Earth map projection. An accurate world map is something that has evaded cartographers for centuries. But this new design just might make distorted maps a thing of the past ...

The Equal Earth World Map, on the other hand, builds on a combination of these two—a hybrid map known as the Robinson projection map, which took bits and pieces of each map to make it highly ...

This attempt at creating a faithful world map took a similar tack to the Sinusoidal by pulling out the edges of the map to mimic a sphere. The Robinson isn’t as extreme, however, taking the form of a ...

The Equal Earth map projection was published earlier this year in the International Journal of Geographical Information Science. It serves as an update to the Robinson projection, used to show the ...

This new map, created by a trio of researchers from across the U.S. and Australia, improves on the design of the Robinson projection by preserving its aesthetic appeal while also correctly ...

The REAL map of the world: New 'Equal Earth' projection is a more accurate representation of the continents. Researchers created new Equal Earth map that shows landmasses in truer size ...

The world map you are probably familiar with is called the Mercator projection (below), ... For instance, the Robinson projection (final image), with its curved sides, ...

The Winkel Tripel projection, designed in 1921, is the National Geographic Society's preferred flat map, but even this has issues with distortion, particularly regarding the Pacific Ocean, which ...
