#Mapprojections: a practical guide to #commonmistakes and how to fix them – Dr Dominic Royé https://t.co/NgVurFhy7O
Most maps make Greenland look bigger than Africa—but Africa is far larger. 🌍
A powerful reminder that maps shape perspective and bias. Try using multiple projections in class.

The world looks different depending on how it is mapped.
Some prioritise shape, others prioritise size, and some aim to balance both. The result is that the same world can look very different.

Wait, there is no single #mapprojection that shows true world? 🌎🌍🌏🤔
@icawebsite's first fact sheet is on #mapprojections!

Day 12. Same time zone data, 8 projections 🌐
Van der Grinten, Mollweide, Sinusoidal, Cassini and more.
A projection is always a decision. Most maps hide it. This one makes it visible.

Did you know that we use different map projections for different reasons? some projections have better use then others depending on the occasion.

🌍 Surprised that Africa is 14× larger than Greenland? This StoryMap provides helpful resources on Coordinate Systems and Transformations to explain why maps often distort the true size of countries:

Australia often looks smaller on flat maps than it really is.
In reality, its landmass rivals entire continents, a reminder of how map projections distort our sense of scale.

Day 19 - Projections
For GIS Day I mapped the world using a cubic projection, an unusual way to reveal how dramatically our planet’s shapes and areas change depending on the projection we choose.

Today’s #30DayMapChallenge is all about projections.
Here’s the world through a heart-shaped projection, giving the map a creative twist the farther out you look.

A map projection necessarily distorts *something* -- it is a 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional reality. Different projections distort different things (& get other things right) 🌍📷-- https://t.co/UTgu2gkqHw -- #MercatorProjection #MapProjections #Cartography

In 1569, Gerardus Mercator created a map projection that made navigation easier but distorted sizes. Greenland looks as big as Africa, but it's actually 14 times smaller! This "lie" influenced colonial views.

10/ I’ve created visual comparisons of these projections—check them out! Which one do you use most in your work? Please share your thoughts! ⬇️

I had the pleasure of giving a guest lecture to students in the @cartography_MSc program at TUM. Another group of future cartographers is now fully familiar with the concepts of #mapprojections, and they even gained experience in creating their own using the clementine technique.
Saviez-vous que le Groënland est en réalité plus petit que l'Algérie ?

Perth, Western Australia, is often referred to as the world's most isolated major city. This map visualises the international flights departing from Perth. This map uses an #AzimuthalEquidistantProjection with Perth as the origin.
