This seemingly very easy round and its subsequent score is a good way of illustrating the issues with the Mercator projection. With that being said, it seems reasonable that GeoGuessr should have the option of using a spherical map.

Did you know? Russia appears to be the largest country due to the distortion of the Mercator projection, when in reality, the country is actually similar in size to Yemen! 🀯

TIL that Canada, Russia, and Greenland aren't nearly as big as most of us think. Most of us have learned world geography from a Mercator map, which distorts the true size of certain countries because it depicts a 3D sphere as a 2D rectangle. visualcapitalist.com/merc…

This country holds the record for the longest period without a government in place - almost 600 days! Belgium is where the Communist Manifesto was written, in a restaurant in Brussels. They also invented the contraceptive pill and the awful Mercator projection. What are your thoughts about Belgium?

Does anyone here have a good high pixel Miller Cylindrical projection or Mercator projection of the world ? Maybe around in a 10000 pixel resolution range? or something similar?

(Btw if you get a stroke from reading this, I am sorry my English is not perfect it’s not my first language)

Ok so I am a 16 year old Beginner at map creating and I already found some good maps, but most of them are either just small maybe around 2000x4000 or 1000x2000 and mostly are in projections I don’t prefer to use.

I only have one that is around 7500px high and 15000px wide but it’s a Robinson Projection which I personally don’t like as much as the ones I already mentioned in the title

So I wanted to know if any of you guys on the sub, had really good high pixelated maps in the 10000 range

Like one that is atleast 10000k wide and shows a bunch of detail

Also I don’t want a blank one

what I would prefer is the map to have atleast Borders

Doesn’t matter if it’s only state Borders, Districts or even municipalities (I actually would prefer one that shows municipalities States and Districts all together)

It also would be nice if it shows lakes too or disputed areas (no rivers please)

If any of y’all have maps that atleast have the mentioned size and borders of all countries in the world then I would really be pleased, if you could give me links in the comments or give me sites that have maps with this size and the mentioned qualifications.

(And before anyone says stuff like specialized google search or that stuff, I already tried couldn’t sadly find results

also I don’t want to pay for a map or something like that like so no pics that you have to pay for)

Also if anyone is really generous enough, you could also make one for me if you really are that willing to waste your own pers time for a random 16 year old since i personally don’t have time currently since i am in school and making my own map takes time on phone

Thanks :)
