- Creator

- Year
- c. 1000
- Area
- Distorted: stretching increases with distance from the center
- Shape
- Good near the center, strongly distorted at the outer rim
- Distances
- Partially preserved: true from the map center to every point
- Angles and directions
- Angles are distorted; azimuths (directions) from the map center are true
Add countries from the tools panel and drag them to other latitudes. The outline keeps its true shape and area on the globe, so any change in its size on the map shows this projection's distortion. Tissot's indicatrices and the area distortion map show the same effect across the whole world.
