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.
A method that transfers portions of a globe to a flat map is?
The most common method is using a map projection, which mathematically transforms the curved surface of the Earth onto a flat map. Different map projections exist, each with its own way of distorting certain features such as distances, areas, or shapes. Mercator, Peters, and Robinson are examples of popular map projections used to depict the Earth.
What is a Winkle Tribal map projection?
A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
Does the projection note for any map sheet identify the projection system used on the map sheet?
Yes, the projection note on a map sheet typically identifies the projection system used, such as Mercator, Robinson, or Lambert conformal conic, among others. This information is important for understanding how the map distorts geographic features and distances.
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.
Map projection is used for sea travel?
A map projection that is used for sea travel includes the gnomonic projection. This was most often used to find the shortest routes between points on a sphere.
What are two map projection?
Two common map projections are Mercator and the Robinson Projection.
The projection note for any map sheet identifies the projection system used on the map sheet?
True. The projection note for any map sheet identifies the projection system used on the map sheet.
What map is most widely used for navigation?
Mercators map projection. answered by David Kops djkadafie@gmail.com
What is a mercator projection and what is its purpose?
Mercator's projection is a map used mostly in the Americas. The purpose of the map projection was to help sailors trade. It was a sailor's map

A Winkle Tribal map projection is a modified azimuthal map projection. This is one of three projection.
What is the most used projection map?
Discounting the Mercator, which cartographers tend to HATE but is ubiquitous anyway... Probably the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, or the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection (used by the US National Atlas).
What is the Robinson map projection?
The Robinson projection shows the entire world map at once.
Does the projection note for any map sheet identify the projection system used on the map sheet?
Yes, the projection note on a map sheet typically identifies the projection system used, such as Mercator, Robinson, or Lambert conformal conic, among others. This information is important for understanding how the map distorts geographic features and distances.
What the difference between a map and a map projection?
a map projection is a map that has lots of different angles.
