All map projections ... the North Pole. So, we can find the geographic center of a large region as follows, using a process of repeated refinement: Map the region’s boundary using the azimuthal ...

The Italian cartographer drew it using the azimuthal equidistant projection, which depicts the flattened globe with the North Pole at its center. According to Monte, this gave a more accurate view ...

By their calculations, the Mercator projection scores 8.296 and Winkel Tripel does better at 4.563. Their own azimuthal equidistant double-sided projection, meanwhile, scores 0.881. “We believe ...

In late 2016, he employed his method to find the heart of North America. The result was serendipitous ... Rogerson’s technique uses what geographers call an azimuthal equidistant map projection, which ...

Known as a "planisphere," the map is aligned in a “north polar azimuthal projection,” meaning that the North Pole is at its center. When he published his work in a four-volume, geographic ...
