  1. ranking almost every map projection episode one. So we are going to start the series with probably the most popular map projection in the world and
  2. that is the merkar projection. Now the merkar projection is a conformal cylindrical map projection. Conformal means that the angles between two lines
  3. or curves stay the same even though it is on a flat map. And a cylindrical map projection essentially means that a globe was mapped to a cylinder. So the
  4. Mercer projection is really good at marine navigation. This was actually the main reason it was created in 1541 by Gerardis Merkar. This is because a rum,
  5. which is a curved line that maintains a consistent angle, appears straight on the Merkar projection. And this is helpful in marine navigation because you
  6. can draw a straight line between two points and that will be the angle that you have to set your compass to to follow. The Mercer projection is also
  7. the primary projection that is used on websites such as Google Maps, Open Street Maps, and other websites. And the reason it is commonly used on these
  8. websites is because it is very easy to tile and in smaller scales, it maintains a constant scale to areas around it. However, as you probably know, the
  9. Mercada projection greatly distorts land area. And this is because the latitudes get stretched out the farther away you get from the equator because of how
  10. mapping on a cylinder works. And so places like Greenland, which appear as the size of Africa on the Mercer projection, in reality are a lot
  11. smaller. And so with all of these things considered, I'm going to put it at B tier because the scaling is really bad, but it is also useful for navigation and
  12. it is and it is basically used in all mapping services.
