there is distortion at the north and south poles. The land sizes of the continents closest to the equator are smaller than they really are. But Mercator maps are very useful for sailors or pilots for finding direction.
Mapping of Earth on a flat surface. ;)
Mercator projection represents rhumb lines, which are useful for navigation. It makes the areas near the poles appear very large.

Geardus Mercator invented the Mercator Map in 1569
I believe that the main disadvantage is that it is an expensive process.
The main disadvantage of wired system is that they are very complex. The wiring increases the complexity of the systems.
One disadvantage of the Mercator projection is that it distorts the size of land masses towards the poles, making countries near the equator appear smaller than they actually are. This can lead to misrepresentations of true land sizes and distances on the map.
the disadvantage is that they could die out
