This, triggers the shit out of me when modern services like Google Maps or OSM still use something that nowadays is literally only usable for a handful of hippie sailors not using GPS (muh bearing)
Doesn't even make sense for easy computation, in which case equirectangular is the easiest to work with, you can easily map (N,E) to (y,x) with a simple linear function this way (while also not true to area, it's at least not as ridiculously distorted)

Why I always see in every projection Sweden much bigger than Spain when it is not the reality?
>>
>>56547763
You can thank Shitcator for that

>>56542993
Agreed, it's only sensible to have the most important bits closest to the center

arguing about the best way to project a sphere onto a plane is like arguing about who's turds taste the best

Mercator is fine, it was just never intended to be used like it is.
It's perfect for its original intention i.e, being used by European navigators

Whichever natgeo uses is the best

Perry-twinkleworbler or some stupid sounding shit like that
