Robinson. This elliptical map displays the earth in an ellipse with a flat top and bottom. Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and lines of longitude are curved. In a Robinson projection, area is represented accurately, but the distances and compass directions are distorted (for example, compass lines are curved).
Winkel Tripel. Lines of latitude and longitude are both curved on this projection. The Winkel Tripel tries to minimize the distortions of distance, area, and direction. The Winkel Tripel projection gained popularity in the 1990s when it was adopted by the National Geographic Society (replacing the Robinson projection). This projection works well when mapping the entire world, but is seldom used for small areas.
Azimuthal equidistant. An important tool for calculating the distance from one point on the earth's surface to another by air is the azimuthal equidistant projection map. When the North Pole or the South Pole is placed at the center of this map, it is referred to as a polar projection. Sometimes this projection is called an "air-age map." Any point of the earth's surface can be chosen as the center of this map. Air distances are calculated by measuring the distance from the center of the map to any other point on the map. Lands close to the center of this projection are shown in true size and shape. Air routes use this type of map because routes are indicated more accurately than on other maps. As with other maps, distortion is also this map's greatest disadvantage. The size and shape of land masses becomes more distorted the farther they are located from the center of focus.
Interrupted area. Another important projection type is the interrupted-area projection. To prevent distortion of the continents, blank areas are inserted in the map. These interruptions in the map are usually made in the water surface of the earth. This type of map allows areas to be studied with little distortion. This projection is also useful for showing characteristics of regions. Such characteristics could include natural resources, population, and distributions.
