Sorry, I thought you were @Cannonpointer above...

I thought it was called a Mercatorial Projection? Greeks knew the diameter of the Earth and had lat and long on a globe. Christianity killed the tech and made the Earth flat and the center of the universe again.

I just ask AI what the number is anymore. No globe or string needed. Until AI is gone. GPS goes out Billions will be lost trying to read a paper map.

Putin shut down Starlink. His military relied on it.

That (Mercator) is an even different type map. Another very common distortion is the "Goode Homolosine" projection.
Nothing beats a globe though (unless you're trying to fold it, that is).

Please seat yourself.

I like the very things you hate.
