What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
What is a importance of map projection?
A projection is a way of keeping the distortion of a flat map
Does equal area projection has distortion?
yes
What is less accurate about a Mercator projection?
what is one problem with the mercator projection
What is the map projection with the least amount of distortion near the pole?
A Globe. It can be an exact scale model of the earth!
Is a polar projection an example of a azimuthal projection?
yes
What is a Round or circular shaped map projection?
Azimuthal
Where is the greatest distortion on a Mercator projection?
On a mereator projection the greatest distortion is produced
What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
What is the most used projection map?
Discounting the Mercator, which cartographers tend to HATE but is ubiquitous anyway... Probably the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, or the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection (used by the US National Atlas).
Is azimuthal is a type of map projection?
Azimuth is the measurement of the position of a star in the sky

Does equal area projection has distortion?
yes
What is less accurate about a Mercator projection?

Projection suitable for mapping a small area?
The Cylindrical projection should be the basis for a large rectangular area and a Conic projection for a triangular area.Therefore use a circular/Azimuthal for a small area or even conic.
What projection shows all of earth with nearly the true sizes and shapes of the continents and oceans?
The Robinson projection is a compromise projection that shows most of the Earth's landmasses and oceans with relatively accurate sizes and shapes, while minimizing distortion. It strikes a balance between preserving spatial relationships and minimizing distortion across the globe.
What is the map projection with the least amount of distortion near the pole?
A Globe. It can be an exact scale model of the earth!
