Equirectangular projection of the world; the standard parallel is the equator (plate carrée projection). Equirectangular projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation and with the standard parallels lying on the equator True-colour satellite image of Earth in equirectangular projection Height map of planet Earth at 2km per pixel, including oceanic bathymetry information, normalized as 8 ...
An equirectangular projection simply maps the yaw and pitch (longitude and latitude) of a sphere linearly to a rectangular image. It produces a signature curved look. In addition, the distribution of pixel density (which can be visualized with Tissot's indicatrix ) is suboptimal, with the usually more important "equator" getting the lowest density.
By default, the lat/long projection (= Equirectangular projection, example aside) is used, code: WGS84 lat/lon (EPSG:4326). This projection is the most convenient for georeferencing, but imply strong distortions at polar latitudes. You may be interested to set a projection when you start a project, or to reproject (warp) an existing lat/long ...
Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s double-sided disk map was designed to minimize all six types of map distortions. Not properly "a" map projection because it is on two surfaces instead of one, it consists of two hemispheric equidistant azimuthal projections back-to-back.

Module:Location map/data/China (equirectangular) is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of China. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.
Spherical projection or equirectangular projection – which is strictly speaking another cylindrical projection – where the stitched image shows a 360° horizontal by 180° vertical field of view i.e. the whole sphere. Panoramas in this projection are meant to be viewed as though the image is wrapped into a sphere and viewed from within.
Module:Location map/data/Earth is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Earth. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.
Image created with the Geocart map projection software. The Equal Earth map projection is an equal-area pseudocylindrical global map projection, invented by Bojan Šavrič, Bernhard Jenny, and Tom Patterson in 2018. It is inspired by the widely used Robinson projection, but unlike the Robinson projection, retains the relative size of areas. The ...
