English: Map of the world in a Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection with Tissot's Indicatrix of deformation. Each red circle/ellipse has a radius of 500 km. Scale : 1:5,000,000
Miller projection with 1,000 km indicatrices of distortion. The Miller cylindrical projection is a modified Mercator projection , proposed by Osborn Maitland Miller in 1942. The latitude is scaled by a factor of 4 ⁄ 5 , projected according to Mercator, and then the result is multiplied by 5 ⁄ 4 to retain scale along the equator. [ 1 ]
English: Detailed SVG political map with grouping enabled to connect all non-contiguous parts of a country's territory for easy colouring. Smaller countries can also be represented by larger circles to show data more easily.

The Mercator projection (/ m ər ˈ k eɪ t ər /) is a conformal cylindrical map projection first presented by Flemish geographer and mapmaker Gerardus Mercator in 1569. In the 18th century, it became the standard map projection for navigation due to its property of representing rhumb lines as straight lines.
Arithmetic mean of the equirectangular projection and the Aitoff projection. Standard world projection for the NGS since 1998. 1904 Van der Grinten: Pseudoconic Compromise Alphons J. van der Grinten: Boundary is a circle. All parallels and meridians are circular arcs. Usually clipped near 80°N/S. Standard world projection of the NGS in 1922 ...
The various cylindrical projections are distinguished from each other solely by their north-south stretching (where latitude is given by φ): The only normal cylindrical projections that preserve area have a north-south compression precisely the reciprocal of east-west stretching (cos φ). This divides north-south distances by a factor equal to ...
