This is a good size-preserving projection. This is good, because reasons*
But.. the Mercator projection is NEVER, EVER going away, and this has nothing to do with colonialism. The Mercator projection preserves DIRECTION and RIGHT ANGLES for navigation, including GOOGLE MAPS and everything on down. If you take a Mercator projection and place a ruler between two cities, and it says head directly Northwest, and you do, you will arrive exactly where the map says you would. That's what maps are for. *shows that practically all major countries, minus Russia, would fit inside Africa; shows that Brazil is the size of the United States; and a variety of other important realizations about perceiving the relative size and natural resources of non-White areas that were colonized by Europeans |
