Disadvantage: The lines of latitude and longitude are curved slightly, it is distorted, so the more distant a land form is from the point the more distorted it is likely to be

Advantage: most land forms have their true shape and size in relation to each other, it is useful to mapping large areas of land that fall in the middle latitude.
