Robinson Map Projection
Answer #2
Every flat map misrepresents the surface of the Earth in some way so can be no one best map projection. Depends on what characteristics are desired. There are many projections each with their own distinct characteristics such as having equal areas, equidistant, and true direction.
Mercator, for example, is best used in areas around the Equator and for marine navigation. Robinson projection has both the lines of altitude and longitude evenly spaced across the map which creates a more pleasing appearance at the cost of distortions.
