Which map projection puts a map of the earth on to a flat piece of paper and is used by nearly all deep sea navigators?
The Mercator projection is the map projection that is commonly used by deep-sea navigators as it preserves straight lines of constant compass bearing on the map, making it easier to navigate across large bodies of water. However, it distorts the size of land masses, particularly near the poles.
When did Ptolemy create the map of the world?
This is a cylindrical map projection. It is a standard map for nautical purposes because it represents lines of constant course, called Rhum Lines, as straight segments. This is precisely the type of route employed by ships at sea. Compasses are used to indicate geographical direction and to steer the ship. The projection was presented by Mercator in 1569

Which map can be use for air navigation?
The type of map projection used by pilots is called a Polar Projection. It shows the Earth from one of the two poles, which helps show what is known as The Great Circle Route. This states that if you live on a rounded object such as the Earth, you travel on a curved line. This makes a Polar Projection the best choice and most commonly used map projection used by pilots.
