So which of these is your favorite? I really like the Cahill Butterfly

The Dymaxion-Fuller Map (triangles that are put next to each other) is often used to show the origin and spread of mankind from Africa, to other continents

6:45: The transverse Marcator is similar to the Mercator, but instead of the equator, the cylinder touches the earth's surface on the 0° and 180° meridians. So the toilet paper core is horizontal, not vertical. Therefore the biggest distortion is at 90°W and 90°E meridians (the straight horizontal lines through the poles) whose intersections with the equator are stretched to infinity like the poles in the true Mercator projection (parallel lines intersect in infinity). The choice of the 0°/180° meridians is quite random, another great circle as the contact line between cylinder (e.g. the 60°W/120°E meridians) and ball leads to different results. In That case, the biggest distortion would be at 150°W and 30°E.

Can you do something that has always bothered me the difference between Territories, Departments and Colonies?

Teacher : What Did you learn ? Me : Gif not Jif .

7:33 Best picture =D

I would say that my favorite depends on What I’m using them for, for example, if I want to do a size comparison, I would use the Gall-Peters projection, if i hypotheticlly were stuck in the ocean, I would’ve used the Mercator projection. If I became a teacher in the future, I would use either the Winel Tripel projection or Robinson’s projection, if I want it change my view of the world, I would probably use other interesting maps, although, this whole thing with projections is Why I prefer a globe

Fuller projection, physical map, north pole at the center, no markings, no triangles, the oceans fill everything around the continents outside of the actual triangles of the projection. Thats the coolest map ever! No countries to kill each other for. Eurasia+ is rotated right 90°, Americas rotated left 90°. Breaks the usual patterns for maps, feels uniting.

I forgot the name of the projection, but there was one which represented the northern and southern hemispheres with two circles, with the poles in the center. The lines of latitude were equal distances apart. It was printed on a double-sided disc, and you could fairly accurately find distance and direction by stretching a string between the two points. It seemed like a good compromise between accuracy and intelligibility if you needed both and could only have one map. Of course a globe is the best way to go, with the only downside being that you can't see the whole earth at once and it can't be shared as an image.

1:28: The Mercator projection is important in navigation because it has correct angles. The great circles (except meridians and the equator) are distorted, however. So a plane flying from Europe to New York over the southern tip of Greenland seemingly flies a curve, but in reality it is a straight line. The Mercator projection is a cylindrical projection as a cylinder is wrapped around the earth, touching it at the equator. The projection rays start from the center of the earth, therefore the poles are stretched to infinity. The Behrmann (not Berhmann) projection is also a cylindrical projection, but here projection rays are parallel to the earth's rotational axis, so distances near the poles are distorted to zero.

You Should have 7,4 billion subs. Absolutely best content in KZfaq!! Keep it up!

9:34: Those triangles are nets of tetrahedra. The left one has the north pole in the center of a face and the south pole on a corner, the right one the other way around. 10:34: Those eight triangles are the net of an octahedron. It is a projection of a spherical surface onto the faces of that octahedron. 11:16: And finally in this one, the surface of the earth is projected onto an icosahedron which is the closest to a sphere among the Platonic polyhedra.

Great video! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷.

This guy deserves way more subs

Who knew maps and mapping was so complex, yet so precise?

Ten out of ten for this one! A complex idea rendered understandable!

Watching for the second time! Continue bro!

Another fun projection is the Euler projection: it is mathematically the best possible projection but it is completely impractical because the earth is projected on a very long line that wraps around many times

When you say, in the Mercator projection, "it inflates the sizes" towards the poles, (away from the equator), you mean the scale increases with increasing distance from the equator. Right?

General Knowledge! *Salutes

The Trasverse Mercator is the most used projection for GIS data. Poles are almost always represented using steregraphic projection

Dymaxion-fuller was my favorite!

Join his discord server guys link in the description Get notifications about new videos there Also suggest ideas for future videos, chats with other fans and the man himself, also do contests monthly

7:33 the painter was distorting the dudes forehead the same way Mercator distorted his maps. Also 12:21 that's the "wall of ice" flat Earthers are looking for that circles the world.

12:20: The Schjerning I is a conical projection which has the purpose to depict Russia as a whole with only very little distortion. Therefore it is very accurate around 60°N latitude and is very distorted on the southern hemisphere.

In the TV series The West Wing this subject came up hilariously in one of the episodes.

9:00 wait how did ancient greeks knew about the Americas?

Which app or Website did you use at 2:43? I would like to use it too, the real size of countrys always interested me a lot. PS: very Great Video, I learned really much today, thanks 😊

Geographer here: the orange isn't really a good representation of the Earth. Earth is a spheroid. Imagine trying to make a ball out of play-doh. It kinda looks lumpy when making it round

Mercator Projection for the "Win"! Which Map Projection do you "Prefer"?

The main reason for the symmetry around the equator is that the earth rotates around it so it becomes a natural choice for a symmetry line. In other words the reason is purely physical, mathematically there is no reason to choose that particular line.

The Goode (Interrupted) projection has always been one of my favorites. It gets the relative sizes of the continents fairly close and it keeps the longitude lines nearly straight. You only get a lot of distortion in the easternmost part of Russia. www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/gprojector/help/projections/GoodeHomolosine-Interrupted.png

At 4:15, that’s the Eckert III projection, not Robinson. Similar but you see different distortions.

An Euler Spiral can theoretically provide 0% distortion

My favorite is the equirectangular projection.

Spilhaus projection. It tries to preserve the shape of the oceans. Used for maping currents

Gaston made Antarctica and Greenland mighty *thicc* on the Mercator Projection. It all makes sense now, he just wants an icy home

Omg the ice wall on the last one

We also have our own map, the world in the shape of our country

I like maps like the dymaxion-fuller map more than maps that are or similar to a rectangle.. Yeah I'm THAT kinda guy.

I'd recommend looking up the Authagraphic projection. It has very little domistortion, divides the world into 96 triangles and can be tiled together in many ways.

Ah yes. The Invercator Map, with Antarctica at its true size.

I ready saw this earlier today. Is that how you got 23 likes from 2 views?

the last is the flat earthers map

Can it be explained why I heard Anchors Away - the theme song of the United States Navy? Cause I am genuinely surprised.

3Blue1Brown used a stereographic projection to look at quaternions.

"Mercator" is pronounced "Merk-Kate-ER"

Can you do a video with the main sport of which country in general? It would be very interesting!

2:00 Very interesting =D

9:56 Island? Do you mean Iceland or Ireland?

Hey G.K. when will you do the poll for the flags? I am so exited to see my flag eeeee!!!

I live in a different continent that's why i'm late

My favorite is the one on the orange peel.

Madagascar is actually more than just twice the size of uk

Omg we need to make a map shaped like cake

Broke: Earth is a circular disk Woke: Earth is a semi-circle

While you are having an easy life using the winkel tripel, think about the poor children who still use the Mercator projection.

Faz um vídeo sobre os distritos de Portugal e as regiões autônomas

That is why I bought a globe at a yard sale.

New Zealand is missing off alot of these maps

This time I'm #BeforeTattieGang

A globe, A globe my macerator projection for a globe!

3:00 can anyone name the website he used

Merc-Ah-Tore!

Fascinating. Many thanks for compiling this. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈

I like many of these projections, but seeing NZ being split apart with Australia, E and SE Asia in a lot of these projections makes my heart crack a bit...

TLDR also reuploaded today due to lack of views. Is KZfaq sick?

If there's a place you got to go I'm the one you need to know I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map If there's a place you got to get I can get you there I bet I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map

You are applying the projections on a small scale to depict the globe. Mercator is used for navigation at much larger scales as points seen will be at the same bearing on the chart. Transverse Mercator is used for largest scale navigation charts inside ports and harbors. The line you drew on the globe is called a rum line and over the distance of oceans is the long way.

Nice

- Be me - Take a globe - Puncture the globe with a needle - Flatten the globe - Use it however you want.

7:33 I think that man's forehead is in mercator projection

Mercator is not really used outside the US.

5:19 is the text kinda moving or am i blind

Brazil is more big than the USA (without Alaska)

Here’s another map distortion 🗺

How you do your videos? It's actually cool

I see giant philippines 9:07

Wasn't this video uploaded already?

Cahill-Keyes FOR THE WIN!!!

what happened to the previous upload :O

Cahill is also good

Deja vu

Uploaded again?

I'm not doing any VPNs, but if I did, it would be a tie between ExpressVPN and NordVPN.

But the earth is flat... Grunts, drags knuckles and wipes drool from mouth

the cahill buterfly is quite usefull still, not to much destortion, and who cares about seas?

@7.33..lol.

I LIKE THE REAL ONE

2:36 look at how big Europe is compared to the United States

Robinson project s best

Didn’t he already upload this? 🧐 Edit: ok I get it now just read description. :P

Oh. Deja vu?

Can you make plz what if the german empire revolt against the Weimar republic

I know I commented this on the original, but why do schools still use Mercator? Kids may believe that Canada is larger than all of Africa or Greenland is the size of Africa.

How did people from BC know about America before 1500 AD ?

15 flat earthers left the chat.

Isn't the globe's surface already flat?

wait did i watch this earlier?

I believe that this video is hampered by not doing a good enough job of explaining the goals of projection design. A 'True Map' can do three things simultaneously and the goal of a projection is to do at least one of these very well: True Distance, True Bearing, and True Area. True Distance is the ability to measure a distance on the map between two points, compare it to the map scale and get the actual distance between those two points on the Earth's surface. The Azimuthal Equidistance projection shows true distances between the center and any other point. The Mercator projection only gives true distances along the Equator, or directly North of South of the Equator True Bearing is the ability to measure the relative bearings between two points and knowing the relative bearings between those two points on the surface of the Earth. This is the forte of the Mercator projection, as all bearing measured on the Mercator projection are true bearings. The Azimuthal Equidistance maps also give true bearings between the center and any other point. This, combined with the AE map providing true distances between other points and the center, makes the AE map very useful for planning hub-and-spoke airline networks, as you just make an AE map for each hub and you can know true distances and bearings from the hub to all of the spokes, and any secondary hubs. True Area is the ability to measure an area within a closed curve on the map, apply a scaling factor and know the area within the corresponding closed curve drawn on the Earth's surface. Most of the map projections that you bring up seem to be attempts to get close to true areas (make all of the land masses appear to have the proper areas, relative to each other). All of the presented projections sacrifice some degrees of true bearings and true distances to get the areas properly proportioned.
