oh yeah
No - use a Lambert conformal or better yet use a polar gnomonic chart . mercator charts are not good for higher latitudes , typically above 70' .
A Great Circle is the largest circle that can be drawn on any sphere. Mercator's Chart projection is the great circle chart.
Distance from the Equator is measured in Latitude .
The Mercator Projection distorts the size of large objects from the Equator to the poles. It was named for Flemish map make Gerardus Mercator.

On a Mercator map it is a straight line.
Itcan only use in iland not in the water..
Mercator Sailing refers to technique used to deal with the problem of course and distance in the maritime world.
A distance chart is for finding the distance between two points. Usually cities.
Easting along with northing are Cartesian coordinates for a geographic point. Easting refers to the eastward-measured distance (or x-coordinate). These coordinates are most commonly associated with the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system.
Distance from the Equator is measured in Latitude .
Distance is measured in kilometres, such as the distance between two towns, or the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
Distance can be measured in metres.
Geardus Mercator invented the Mercator Map in 1569
