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 is the polar projection map?

Polar projections are often made in what is called the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection. The projection would be made tangent at the north pole, or at the south pole. These projections allow you to make linear measurements from the pole to any point on earth. These measurements are the shortest distances from the pole to the points and can be directly compared to one another. A polar projection shows the poles; I learned it in my science class.
