What type of map projection is used by airline pilots?
The type of map projection used by pilots is called a Polar Projection. It shows the Earth from one of the two poles, which helps show what is known as The Great Circle Route. This states that if you live on a rounded object such as the Earth, you travel on a curved line. This makes a Polar Projection the best choice and most commonly used map projection used by pilots.
What type of projection conical or cylindrical would show least distortion of central Africa?
Cylindrical , providing the cylinder axis is co-linear with the N/S polar axial line through the centre of the Earth.
Would Greenland be smaller on a Mercator or a Robinson map projection?
It would show up smaller on a Mercator map projection
How are the Mercator projection and the Goode's projection different?
The Mercator projection is used for world maps, and is most accurate between 30 degrees north and south latitude. The further away you go from there, the more exaggerated it becomes. The equal-area projection is also used for world maps, but only represents the continents in equal area with respect to their size, but not location. The conic projection is used for maps that show polar regions, such as Alaska. Imagine an ice-cream cone turned upside down and placed on top of a ball. The only accurate representation would be only in the circle that cone touches the ball.
Who is the person that create the first modern map?
Gerardus Mercator developed the map that is sliced up at the north and south poles.Impshum a map of the world is a map that shows every country and every piece of land and its what i have
What kind of map does a polar projection map show?
Polar Area
What does a polar projection show?
A map of a location near or in the poles.
Could you show me the images of animals that live in the polar region?
Depends which polar region you are interested in. Different types of animals live in the two polar regions. Polar bears, e.g., live only in the northern polar regions, whilst penguins live only in the southern polar regions. Some animals, e.g. seals, live in both regions.

Can you show me the difference between first and third angle projection?
In a first angle projection, the object stands in between the observer and the plane of projection. In a third angle project, the object and the plane of projection is interchanged.
What kind of map projection would you use to show the size of various land masses?
Equal-Area projection
Two dimensional maps show what?
Planar projection
What is isometric projection?
Isometric projection is another way of saying 3D. With isometric projection things are drawn on a two dimensional surface to show how they would look in 3D.
