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.

If you are familiar with the route you don't need it, but most of the time keep it case you are lost.
Mercator
Polar maps are typically used to represent areas near the poles, where distortion is minimized. They are useful for navigation, meteorology, and polar research.
You would likely use a conformal map projection, such as the Mercator projection, to study Australia due to its accuracy in representing shapes and angles. It would be beneficial for preserving the shape of the continent and for navigation purposes.

A navigator's map is a chart.
you can use a map for finding a location or a place you need to go to. you can use a globe for pointing out the latitude and longitude of a continent. you can use both of them to look at the surface of earth from a flat, round, or miniature point of view. - Kami
Wayfinding is the concept of navigation, used mainly by the people of Polynesia. Wayfinding encompasses a wide range of navigation styles, including the use of a map and compass and the use of astronomy.

To effectively use a topographic map for navigation and terrain analysis, one should first understand the map's key features, such as contour lines, symbols, and scale. By interpreting these elements, one can determine elevation changes, identify landmarks, and plan routes. Additionally, using a compass and understanding how to read coordinates can help in accurate navigation. Regularly updating one's position on the map and adjusting for terrain features can enhance navigation accuracy.
It is as big as your GPS, or any map you have on you!
Rivers are not used for navigation in Japan due to their state in the map where they contain more waterfalls which are unnecessary for navigation.

GPS, or navigation.
You dont have to update your GPS system in order to use it. However it is recommended so that you have the most accurate and current map data.
