that is a really distorted map lol

alstralia is not the size of russia, i asked for an accurate map

"""F L A T M A P"""

What, you want a 3D model?

That’s called a globe

no, just a flat map without distortions

but instead im being given text

look to a globe, a flat map wrapped around a ball

you cant perfectly wrap something flat around a ball

Because how else are they supposed to make it

R Simmons did it

well, i should say a flat circle around a ball

welp, they all use flat maps to navigate so.......

clearly you dont understand navigation

Because it’s easier to navigate in birds eye view

You can see the way clearer

why not use a globe?

you know the map shown in schools? That one distorted map? That is the most popular map because it makes navigation easy. Not because it's accuate

@Slash how do you know if the a globe map is distorted?

Because flat maps are easier to transport

it's really easy to figure out the sizes of countries. also i found the most accuate flat map but your not going to like it

Unlike a big round globe

look up the AuthaGraph map

that is the most accuate flat map.

how do you know?

dude, people litterly studied it to make sure the distances and country sizes were correct

i guess someone told you

so i guess just because its on the popular maps you think greenland and antartica are bigger then russia

Distortions occur when you change the shape and size. Nothing changes proportionally on a globe

that is your claim

omfg

repeating claims is not evidence

It could be wrong, there’s always new islands popping up and large swatches of land being eroded away, and some places aren’t depicted anyway, but distortions don’t just magically appear for no reason

Showing a map that is disgustingly distorted doesnt make that map reality

I want someone to justify Australia looking like a sausage

It doesn’t

do you have a photo of austrailia?

Yes
