A map that preserves both shape and size is known as an equidistant map projection. This type of projection maintains distances accurately, allowing for both shape and scale to be represented correctly. However, it's important to note that while some projections can preserve shape (like conformal projections) or size (like equal-area projections), few can do both simultaneously across the entire map. As a result, equidistant projections often compromise on one of these properties to maintain the other.

What type of map preserves shape and preserves size?

A conformal map is a type of map that preserves shape (angles) and a equal-area map preserves size (area). However, no single map projection can perfectly preserve both shape and size simultaneously across an entire map.


What map preserves shape and what map preserves size?

A conformal map preserves shape, meaning angles are maintained. A equal-area map preserves size, meaning areas are accurately represented.
