What variant of Mercator projection does Google Maps use?
Google Maps is based on a close variant of the Mercator projection. Google Maps uses the spherical Mercator, but the coordinates on Google Maps are the GPS coordinates based on the WGS 84 datum. Also, because Mercator projects the poles at infinity, Google Maps cannot show the poles so instead it cuts off coverage at 85.051125° north and south.
