The recommendations of this paper are to: 1) design geographic interpretation around the three components of spatial knowledge; 2) create interpretive maps by blending the principles of map and exhibit design; and 3) provide visitors with multiple opportunities to learn about a geographic setting.
The Robinson projection is highly unique. Unlike all other projections, Professor Robinson did not develop this projection by developing new geometric formulas to convert latitude and longitude coordinates from the surface of the Model of the Earth to locations on the map.
Definition. The Robinson Projection is a map projection that seeks to visually represent the entire world in a way that balances size and shape, making it more visually appealing and practical for general use.
Definition. The Robinson Projection is a map projection designed to create a visually appealing representation of the entire world while minimizing distortion in size, shape, distance, and direction.
The Robinson projection is a map projection devised in 1963 by Arthur Robinson as a compromise to show the entire globe on a flat map with moderate distortion. It is neither equal-area nor conformal. Distortion is severe close to the poles but moderate elsewhere.
Definition. The Robinson Projection is a map projection that visually represents the world in a way that minimizes distortion of area, shape, distance, and direction.
The Robinson projection is a map projection of a world map that shows the entire world at once. It was specifically created in an attempt to find a good compromise to the problem of readily showing the whole globe as a flat image.
