Unless the navigational tools dont work the way you think they do

No one said maps are wrong

Then the planes would be deliberately flying longer than necessary

Im still curious what map you are using

At best

@MrGiggles Indeed, and as a member of Navigation division in the Navy we relied on spherical map projections called Mercator. Tolerance was very little for error because underwater mountains exist and we were a submarine

Horizontal plane, meaning of you connect the dots to form a straight path

Yes a straight path

@Citizen Z magnetic lines converge in the south

Not possible on a flat plane

In your mind

Nah, by geometry

Have you ever measured the angles of the sun setting

Just wondering why no flat earth map can show Australia at anywhere near its correct size

```"AUSTRALIA DOES NOT EXIST"
The Australian continent DOES exist, but the state is an illegal British colony built upon aboriginal land under the erroneous terra nullius claims that the aboriginal people are/were savages. The aboriginal people have never been paid for their, and are being subject to genocide. They have liquor stores and live in slums. The disgraceful treatment of these indiginous people is being ignored. The country of Australia was formerly a British penal colony built on conquered land without a formal declaration of war. It is a criminal land grab by criminals, for criminals. Australia is not a real state.```

Ya sure

I have a theodolite and sextant

And telescope

You are from Australia?

Yes

Thats cool. Let me find a video

Did a cruise by Antarctica too

Below circle

Oh good so you believe it exists lol

We both know cruising by the shore of Antarctica doesn't necessarily prove anything

Really

It proves you cruised by

So what about the same for alaska

Yes what about it

I've been to Alaska personally

Would you say the same about an Alaskan visit

So does that prove Alaskas exact shape?

No but cartography does

It is accurate but not perfect

And there's a sailing race circumnavigate ing the south pole

Pretty sure that 0.0% of cartographers believe the earth is flat

Yeah have you done the race?

They have to turn right to stay on course when going west to east

No but anyone can

Go do it then lol
