- Distortion class
- Equidistant
- Graticule type
- Interrupted azimuthal (star)
- Creator
- Hermann Berghaus
- Year
- 1879
- Area
- Distorted (not equal-area), though only moderately
- Shape
- Distorted, most of all at the outer edges and in the star's points
- Distances
- Partially preserved: true from the map center to every point of the northern hemisphere and along the lines from the center to the tips of the points
- Angles and directions
- Angles are distorted; directions (azimuths) from the map center are true within the northern hemisphere
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.
