#AfricanUnion Joins Calls To End Use Of #Mercator Map That Shrinks Continent’s Size

[just a reminder that the Mercator projection was developed in 1569 for use in marine navigation, so as to utilise “rhumb line[s],… a path on the Earth's surface that crosses all meridians of longitude at the same constant angle, allowing for a steady compass bearing to be followed.” (this is most specifically NOT pedantry!)
Glad that the suggested projection to make – rightly – the size of Africa be accurately represented is Equal Earth (https://equal-earth.com/, 4th figure) - rather than the (1) gross shapes distortion and (2) (erroneous) ‘socially concerned groups’ baggage that has been attached to the Gall-Peters projection]
