31 paź 2017 · A lot of people have problems with the Mercator map of the world. Fortunately, The True Size is set up to help cartography fans see how much it distorts land mass by allowing users to move outlines of nations across the 2-D images.
19 lis 2018 · This interactive map shows the real size of countries on a mercator projection map. The animation shows some countries shrinking to show their true size.
8 wrz 2015 · That GIF comes from a new interactive map project, the True Size. It lets you visualize how big countries really are, rather than how big they appear when distorted on a map.
An interactive playground to explore the extreme distortions of the Mercator projection. Set any point on Earth as the new North Pole. Warp the map in real-time.
Interactive Map. How can we visualize real distance in the Mercator projection? All maps are distorted. But how much? Mouseover the map to see how the size of a 500 miles radius circle changes according to the distortion of the Mercator projection.
Projection Wizard is a web application that helps cartographers select an appropriate projection for their map. Depending on the extent and the distortion property of the map, the application returns a list of appropriate map projections with additional projection parameters if necessary.
Try entering the names of countries and states on this interactive map, and then dragging them around to compare them by superimposing one on top of another. Because this map uses the Mercator projection—a standard for many Web maps—you'll also notice how the sizes of countries change as you drag them towards the Equator or the poles.
