mercator projection are mostly used by navigator because all meridians appears as astraiht line
Robinson projection
Mercator Projection, Interrupted Projection, Robinson Projection
The other popular map projections include the so-called "compromise" projections, including: Robinson Winkel Tripel Dymaxion (Buckminster Fuller) Butterfly Map (Cahill) Kavrayskiy Wagner pseudocylindrical Chamberlin trimetric Fine's cordiform

Robinson projection
The Robinson projection and the Mercator projection.
What is the difference between Mercator projections, Equal Area Projections and Winkel Tripel Projections.
Mercator Projection
Two common map projections are Mercator and the Robinson Projection.
yes ,Mercator Robinson and conic projections differ because Mercator Robinson is not true it`s Mercator projection . Mercator projections are the grid is rectangular and lines of latitude and longitude are all parallel. conic projections are a map projections of the globe onto a cone with its points over one of the earth`s poles
Mercator and conic projections are different because conic projections have a cone/triangle shape and they are the same because both are type of maps..... I know really bad answer but I hope this helped
Compare: Both Mercator and Gnomonic projections are commonly used for nautical purposes, such as routes for ships to take.Contrast: Gnomonic projections usually display a small area of the Earth, whereas a Mercator projection displays the entire Earth, but with distortions at the poles.
The Mercator projection is the standard for nautical navigation.
The Mercator Projection, developed by Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator, was widely used as the standard two-dimensional projection of the earth for world maps until the late 20th century, when more accurate projections were formulated. Mercator was also the first to use and popularize the concept of the atlas as a collection of maps.
Lines of longitude on the Mercator projection are straight and evenly spaced, while on the other two projections (such as the Robinson or Winkel Tripel), they are curved and vary in spacing. This distortion in longitude is a trade-off for maintaining accurate shapes and angles on the Mercator projection.
Mercator projection is still in common for navigation, due to its unique properties, cartographers agree that it is not suited to large area maps due to its distortion of land area toward the polar regions.
