@worldmapsonline: The Equal Area World Map was designed to show our planet’s landmasses at true sizes, while also preserving a pleasant, familiar balance aesthetically. The African Union is calling for everyone worldwide to replace world maps with this one. Because, maps aren’t neutral. How we draw the world also shapes how we see it.

Is it finally time to retire distorted Mercator maps in classrooms?

seeing how tiny Europe actually is makes so much more sense now

what does this projection sacrifice, though? that's the interesting part that you left out completely. any projection of a globe to a flat surface loses something in the process

Every map is distorted. There is nothing wrong with using the Mercator projection

I don't get why people are so against the equal earth projection. it's simply a more accurate representation of earth

I’m confused, do people still use paper maps? All the maps I use are digital and are globes once you zoom out which realistically makes the most sense to me.

Anyone who has a problem with this is telling on themselves…it’s a factually inaccurate image we can easily fix. Why would that trigger you?

honestly i think it would be best to have multiple maps displayed and actually teach children about map projection so that they can understand the size/shape/direction of the world better

if you want accurate sizes USE A GLOBE! if you're trying to get somewhere, use a mercator map. it's not that complicated

As I understand the US, Europe and China altogether fits comfortably in Africa so isn't this map still greatly distorted?

Isn’t this just the Robinson projection? I’ve seen those more than Mercator in high school
