Mercator projection , also: Mercator's projection

The Mercator projection is one of the most common map projections in general use.

He paused briefly, and turned to the other side of the Mercator projection.

The Mercator projection would over time become the conventional view of the world that we are accustomed to today.

It looks like the map is a Mercator projection.

The named parallels are clearly indicated on the Mercator projections shown below.

The Mercator projection is almost universally used in nautical charts.

Several authors are associated with the development of Mercator projection:

Many people have a mental map of the world which corresponds approximately to the Mercator projection.

The Mercator Projection is the system which is still used.

This applies for the Mercator projection in normal aspect.

Therefore the Mercator projection is adequate for mapping countries close to the equator.

At latitudes higher than 70 north or south, the Mercator projection is practically unusable.

In January 1790 he made himself famous by his large chart of the world on Mercator projection.

He also introduced the Mercator projection for navigational maps.

Google Maps is based on a close variant of the Mercator projection.

Hondius also published a world map in 1608 on the Mercator projection.

The Mercator projection has severe distortion at the poles and northern latitudes.

The Mercator projection exaggerates areas far from the equator.

For the Mercator projection giving : angles are preserved.

The right-hand wall bore two maps of the world, equal-area and Mercator projection.

In cartography, several named map projections (including the Mercator projection) are conformal.

Further evidence for the Shroud as an art object comes from what might be called the "Mercator projection" argument.

The Mercator projection, for example, distorts by exaggerating the size of regions at high latitude.

This is evident from the global projections in Transverse Mercator projection.

If these sheets were brought to the same scale and assembled an approximation of the Mercator projection would be obtained (1537).
