Best Answer

Goode's Interrupted Projection is a projection whose purpose is to make the world appear on a flat surface as accurately as possible. Compared with other projections, it does not distort the sizes or shapes of continents. However, because it is made of segments, it makes it difficult to use the map for measuring directions or distances across oceans.
