Would Greenland be smaller on a Mercator or a Robinson map projection?
It would show up smaller on a Mercator map projection
What map would a sailor use?
The Mercator projection is the standard for nautical navigation.
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.
Does the Mercator projection show the size or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?
It's the location. 'A projection is a system for mapping the round Earth on a flat surface. The Mercator projection map shows the accurate locations of the continents and oceans. The land and water areas, however, are greatly distorted toward the North and South Poles.'
Does a Mercator projection show the size shape or the location of the continents more accurately on a map?
None of them. However, the location is distorted the least.
Does the mercator projection more accurately show the size shape or the location of the continents on a map?
Mercator projection is used on ships. It shows the correct shapes of continents but the areas are distorted. The longitude lines are parallel which makes the areas at the poles seem larger than they actually are. Hope this helps.
What variant of Mercator projection does Google Maps use?
Google Maps is based on a close variant of the Mercator projection. Google Maps uses the spherical Mercator, but the coordinates on Google Maps are the GPS coordinates based on the WGS 84 datum. Also, because Mercator projects the poles at infinity, Google Maps cannot show the poles so instead it cuts off coverage at 85.051125° north and south.
Was designed by Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569 to show compass directions as straight lines in all directions from all points on the map?
Global Projection
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 map has parallel lines of latitude and longitude?

What is the term for a map that is made by wrapping a piece of paper around a globe?

Shine a light fromthe center of the earth, trace the image that isprojected onto the paper, and then take thepaper off for a cylindrical projection.............. i don't know if that's what your looking for?good luck!....sorry
