41Albers projection — The Albers equal area conic projection, or Albers projection, is a conic, equal area map projection that uses two standard parallels. Although scale and shape are not preserved, distortion is minimal between the standard parallels.The Albers… …
42Collignon projection — of the world. The Collignon projection is an equal area pseudocylindrical map projection first known to be published by Édouard Collignon in 1865 and subsequently cited by A. Tissot in 1881. For the smallest choices of the parameters chosen for… …
43Werner projection — of the world. The Werner projection is a pseudoconic equal area map projection sometimes called the Stab Werner or Stabius Werner projection. Like other heart shaped projections, it is also categorized as cordiform. Stab Werner refers to two… …
44Waterman butterfly projection — The Waterman Butterfly World Map Projection was created by Steve Waterman and published in 1996. It is an octahedral transformation of a globe, reviving the Butterfly Map principle first developed by Bernard J.S. Cahill (1866 1944) in 1909.… …
45Equirectangular projection — The equirectangular projection (also called the equidistant cylindrical projection, geographic projection, plate carré or carte parallelogrammatique projection or CPP) is a very simple map projection attributed to Marinus of Tyre, who Ptolemy… …
46Robinson projection — of the world …
47Bonne projection — A Bonne projection is a pseudoconical equal area map projection, sometimes called a dépôt de la guerre or a Sylvanus projection. Although named after Rigobert Bonne (1727 1795), the projection was in use prior to his birth, in 1511 by Sylvano,… …
48Hobo-Dyer projection — The Hobo Dyer map projection is an equal area map projection. It is a cylindrical projection, similar to the Gall Peters projection. The cylinder is usually assumed to wrap around the globe and cut through the surface at 37.5° north and south.… …
49gnomonic map projection — A perspective map projection on a plane tangent to the surface of a sphere having the point of projection at the center of the sphere. The projection is neither conformal nor equal area. It is the only projection in which great circles on the… …
50Bottomley projection — A Bottomley projection is an equal area map projection. Parallels (i.e. lines of latitude) are concentric elliptical arcs of constant eccentricity, centred on the north pole. On the central meridian, shapes are not distorted, but elsewhere they… …
