Question
Where can I get a map of the world that shows real proportions?
Hi Eric,
This is very difficult to do since when you take a sphere and make it flat, there is distortion that occurs. The mercator is one that has a lot of distortions but both the Sinusoidal and Dymaxion have the least. A globe has no distortion.
