What type of map projection is used by airline pilots?
The type of map projection used by pilots is called a Polar Projection. It shows the Earth from one of the two poles, which helps show what is known as The Great Circle Route. This states that if you live on a rounded object such as the Earth, you travel on a curved line. This makes a Polar Projection the best choice and most commonly used map projection used by pilots.

When using a map you use this to determine its orientation?
A device that is used to determine orientation on a map is a compass rose. The type of map projection that is most helpful in the navigation of ships is a Mercator map.
How many years was the Mercator projection map used for?
