it can only use in island only,because the Mercator chats is only can see a small island.
What is the size of Congo in mercator projection?
A mercator projection is defined as a projection of a map of the world onto a cylinder in such a way that all the parallels of latitude have the same length as the equator, used especially for marine charts and certain climatological maps. Congo, as depicted in mercator projection, is small.
What are the pros and con's of Mercator projection?
Mercator:Mercator projection works very poorly in polar regions and becomes undefined at the north and south poles. Historically Mercator is interesting because it is one of the oldest map projections to be used. Christopher Columbus used the Mercator projection in his travels to the new world. This projection is often used in navigation because any straight line is a rhumb line (a line of constant direction). Parallels of latitude and longitude are straight. Features increase in size as the map approaches the poles. Areas and shapes of large areas are distorted. Distortion increases away from the equator and is extreme in polar regions. However, being a conformal projection, angles and shapes within any small area are essentially true.
What map would a sailor use?
The Mercator projection is the standard for nautical navigation.

What type of map projection is used by ship navigation?
Mercator
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.
What is a mercator map best used as?
its used best as a gps
Mercator sailing in nautical?
Mercator Sailing refers to technique used to deal with the problem of course and distance in the maritime world.
How many years was the Mercator projection map used for?
It still is used.
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
Which projection is used for the weather map of India?
i guess its Mercator's
