Map projection is used for sea travel?
A map projection that is used for sea travel includes the gnomonic projection. This was most often used to find the shortest routes between points on a sphere.

What is the definition of map projection?
A map projection simply is a representation of the round, 3D surface of the earth onto a flat, 2D map. There are different map projections such as Mercator and Robinson each of which have advantages and disadvantages.The appropriate projection for a map depends on the scale of the map and the purposes for which it will be used. For example, a Mercator projection has straight rhumb lines and is therefore excellent for navigation, because compass courses are easy to determine, but there is distortion near the poles.
Which map projection does Cuba use?

What are the disadvantages and advantages of azimuthal projection?
This map projection has the advantage of showing the correct distances between places when taken from the centre point of the projection, however it has the disadvantage that the distances from all other points are incorrect, and areas and shapes get distorted more that one moves away from the centre of the projection.

What map projection best shows Antarctica?
You need a map that centers on the South Pole, with Antarctica at its center. Depending on what you want to explore, you can find an atlas -- flat map, or a globe that shows the curvature of the planet, or you may be able to find sonar or other types of sub-ice maps that may reveal what you want.
