Dln’t quote me on this, but from what I’ve heard, the Mercador projection became standard because it’s good for navigating since qit conserves angles. Draw a strait line depicting your current trajectory and another the trajectory that would get you where you want, measure the angle between them, and that’s the actual angle you need to turn.

You mean Jean Lassalle weird or Sylvain Durif weird?

It’s funny looking at the islands, because if you look at the Caribbeans, especially Cuba, they’re close to the nearest continental country, so you might assume at first that they made it work that way for all Islands, and then as you keep going around it keeps getting worst until you have Japan next to Lithuania.

What a strange aircraft!

You’d think they’d get Sinai right…
