Related Links
This section deals with maps made in Mercator projection style. Mercator projection style presents a map in a cylindrical projection. This projection style was introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator, a Flemish geographer and cartographer. Mercator projection is broadly used in navigation charts.

World centric maps, world outline maps, world political maps are the maps shown in Mercator projection style. Due to the increase in scales from Equator to the poles, this projection style distorts the shape and size of large objects. For example: in a Mercator projection Greenland looks bigger than the continent of South America, however in reality the landmass of Greenland is smaller than even the Arabian peninsula.
