What else can I help you with?
What kind of a map is a rectangular representation of earth that shows accurate directions but distorts sizes and distances?
mercator projection
Which projections map shows true directions?
The azimuthal projection map shows true directions from a central point. In this type of projection, distances and angles are preserved along radials emanating from the center, making it useful for navigation and certain geographical analyses. However, it distorts other properties such as area and shape away from the center point.
Which type of map projection is best for displaying a compact area such as Australia?
Mercator's is the best for Australia
Which map projection does Cuba use?
The map projection that Cuba uses is equirectangular projection. It shows the equidistant or constant spacing map representation of the country.
What kind of map is a rectangular representation of Earth that shows accuarate directions but distorts sizes and distances?
Mercator projection I got answer off of novanet
The map projection that is best for calculating directions is the?
Mercator
Is the Mercator the best map for calculating directions?
The Mercator projection is not the best map for calculating directions because it distorts sizes and shapes, especially near the poles, making landmasses appear larger than they are. However, it does preserve angles, which makes it useful for navigation and maintaining straight-line courses over long distances. For accurate distance and area calculations, other projections like the Robinson or Winkel Tripel are more suitable. Ultimately, the choice of map depends on the specific needs of the user.
Which map projection accurately shows directions and shape but distorts distance and size?
Winkel-Tripel
What kind of map is a rectangular representation of earth that shows accurate directions but distorts and distances?
mercator projection
What is the best map projection to use?
Robinson Projection because it has minor distortions, the sizes and shapes near the eastern and western edges of the map are accurate, and outlines of the continents appear much as they do on the globe.

What kind of map is rectangular representation of Earth that shows accurate directions but distorts sizes and distances?
mercator projection
What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
Was designed by Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569 to show compass directions as straight lines in all directions from all points on the map?
Global Projection
Why is te mercator projection map still in use today?
The Mercator projection map is still in use today because it preserves straight lines, making it useful for navigation and exploration purposes. Its distortion of size towards the poles is less of a concern for these uses. Additionally, it has become a standard map projection for many educational and reference purposes, contributing to its continued use.
What the difference between a map and a map projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
