Mercator Projection - This map projection allows latitude lines stay, however, land masses near poles appear larger., Peters Projection - While this map projection accurately depicts the sizes of land masses, the shapes are inaccurate (especially near the poles)., Conic Projection - While this map projection shows mid latitude countries well, it looks distorted because longitude lines converge on one-pole only. , Polar/Azimuthal Projection - This map projection is often used by pilots because it shows the shortest distance between two places., Robinson Projection - This map projection is often used because it preserves the appearance of the globe without severe distortions. ,
