What map have projection has fairly accurate shapes in the center but increasing distorting toward the edges?
All two dimensional (flat) maps (called projections) of the surface of the Earth have distortion. Several projections are used to create such maps and each is better for some uses and not others. There is no most distorted projection. It depends on the intended use for the map.
What were the two early means of showing the earths surface?
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.
What are different types of map projections?
Mercator Projection : longitude and latitude as straight, parallel lines Conic Projection : a circular map made from a flattened cone, centered on a pole or other point Gall-Peters Projection : relocates standard parallels, narrows longitudinal spacing Robinson Projection : approximates a true spherical view of the Earth, except the poles Winkel Tripel Projection : an azimuth approximation of the world view, similar to Robinson The most widely used is the Mercator projection, the major disadvantage being its area expansions (areas closer to the poles appear larger and lack their true shapes). The Gall-Peters Projection provides a closer approximation of the relative areas. All flat representations of a spherical surface will create variances in "true" size or shape. (see image links)
What is the winkel tripel projection?
The Winkel triple projection is a projection adopted by the National Geographic to better identify the golbe in its entirety.

What is the difference between winkel tripel projection and mercator?
What is the difference between Mercator projections, Equal Area Projections and Winkel Tripel Projections.
Which map projection accurately shows directions and shape but distorts distance and size?
Winkel-Tripel
What country is the Winkel area located in?
The Winkel Triple Junction is located in the Southwest Indian Ridge off the coast of South Africa.
Winkle triple projection?
The Winkle Triple projection provides a good balance between the size and shape of land areas on the map.

How are the lines of longitude on the mercator projection different form the other two?
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.
