To see different views of the Earth.
The most common map projections are based on three main geometric shapes: 1) Sphere to a Plane 2) Cylindrical Projections, 3) Conic Projections.

Map makers are called cartographers. There are 3 generally accepted types of map projections. These are cylindrical projections, conic projects and planar projections.
A system of mapping the round earth on a flat surface is called a map projection. Map projections are used to represent the Earth's curved surface on a two-dimensional map. Different map projections have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the purpose of the map.
mercator projection are mostly used by navigator because all meridians appears as astraiht line
Distortion
Map are projections in a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of the locations on the surface of a sphere. Map projections distort the surface in a little bi, depending on the purpose of the map.
are lines
Two common map projections are Mercator and the Robinson Projection.
Three projection methods used by geographers and map makers are: cylindrical conic planar.
