my favorite map projection



My favorite map projection is the gnomic (noh-mik)projection , i like this one because it is pretty simple to understand if you know what your countries look like. The thing that i very much enjoy is the fact that it only show half of the world at a single time. Working with half the world is much easier personally because being able to focus on a single area rather that the whole world. Being able to focus only on either the Nothern or Southern hemisphere help some to focus on a certain point, rather than searching the whole map for a point you could find in one hemisphere. The gnomic projection is a different way in which to show the world because it shows only half of the world.
