What is the definition of map projection?
A map projection simply is a representation of the round, 3D surface of the earth onto a flat, 2D map. There are different map projections such as Mercator and Robinson each of which have advantages and disadvantages.The appropriate projection for a map depends on the scale of the map and the purposes for which it will be used. For example, a Mercator projection has straight rhumb lines and is therefore excellent for navigation, because compass courses are easy to determine, but there is distortion near the poles.
Mercator projection maps are used to determine great-circle routes?
No. A straight line on a mercator map is a path of constant bearing, but this will not generally be a great-circle route.
