Total commoner here that does not understand projection and such on maps, but I know that the popular map and commercial globe somehow does not show the true size of a country/area.
My first question is, how could a globe (which supposed to be a representation of earth from space) does not represent true size of an area?
Second one, can we produce a map that shows the true size of an area but can also be used for navigation?
thetruesize’s idea is that you can drag the countries around and it simulates the project at that point in the map, so if you were to say drag the US onto Russia it would be scaled the same
the project that most maps use maintain directionality at the cost of distorting size
