What is the best map projection to use?

What is another name for an oval shape projection map?
A Robinson Projection Map - also called an orthophanic projection in which the lines of latitude are curved. It was created by a Canadian-born cartographer named Arthur Robinson (1915 - 2004). There is also a Mollweide projection - within an ellipse in which the lines of longitude are curved. That was devised by Karl Brandan Mollweide, a German from Wolfenbuttel (1774 - 1825).

What are the 3 different types of map projections?
The three main types of map projections are cylindrical, conic, and azimuthal. Cylindrical projections show the Earth's surface on a cylinder, conic projections project the Earth's surface onto a cone, and azimuthal projections project the Earth's surface onto a plane. Each type has variations that can result in different map distortions.
What is the Robinson map projection?
The Robinson projection shows the entire world map at once.
