Mercator's map (1569) was made “for the use of sailors”: a course with one compass bearing is a straight line on it. Equal Earth (2018, Bojan Šavrič, Tom Patterson and Bernhard Jenny) keeps every country's area in true proportion. (Sources: Mercator's 1569 world map title; Šavrič, Patterson & Jenny, International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2018.)
