    • Is mercartor projection a prejudiced projection?

      Mercartor projection has huge projection errors! For example, Greenland is almost twice the size of Africa, and it portrays countries in the northern hemisphere larger than those in the southern hemisphere, which is totally wrong! North America is almost twice the size of South America! Brazil, for example, is about the same size as the United States, and Australia about the same size as the whole of Europe. This map is controversial, and in many places is considered a biased map. It would be nice if it were modified for more modern projections such as google uses!

    • Why does windy.com use Mercator projection?

      Mercator projection is incorrect! There are several more modern map projections that are more proportionate! I suggest you change that!
