Wie ein 5.000-km-Radius um Paris auf einer Mercator-Karte aussieht

This just goes to show how terrible of a projection Mercator is when it comes to measuring distance

This look more like a mediator projection.

In reality Greenland is as big as Saudi Arabia.

Oh. Good. The town of Paris that i grew up in is more than 5000km away from French Paris. Good.

I wonder how this circle would look like on the Winkel tripel projection. That’s the most used projection on dutch schools.

Such a distorted view, I wonder why there isn’t something better that’s 2 dimensional. Greenland dwarfs s america

this is a really good way, but I’m still waiting for a 100% proportional world map (why is it so hard to 2D a sphere?)

Azimuthal map is more accurate on distances

Or you could just say 5 Mm.

Wow, did not realize Paris was closer to the Persian Gulf than it is to even the furthest east of the US.

Africa big
