This projection is used for urban maps in Colombia. It is used for conformal mapping of areas that do not follow a north-south or east-west orientation but are obliquely oriented. This is an oblique Mercator projection developed by Martin Hotine. This projection is a modification of the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection. This equal-area pseudocylindrical projection is combination of the Mollweide and sinusoidal projections, most commonly used in interrupted form. It projects great circles as straight lines. This azimuthal projection uses the center of the earth as its perspective point. This projection is used by geostationary satellites that return data located by the satellites' scanning angles. It is a conformal projection that does not maintain true direction and is appropriate for mapping large-scale or smaller areas. This projection is known as the ellipsoidal version of the transverse Mercator projection. This perspective cylindrical map projection has two standard parallels at latitudes 45° north and 45° south and exaggerates polar regions. This projection is an unfolded 20-sided icosahedron that keeps the land masses unbroken. It is also known as equirectangular, simple cylindrical, rectangular, and plate carrée. This projection forms a grid of equal rectangles. This conic projection preserves distances along all meridians and two standard parallels and is best suited for areas extending east to west at mid-latitudes. This equal-area pseudocylindrical projection has a pleasing appearance for land features and is used for thematic world maps. This equal-area projection is a modification of the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection. This equal-area projection is used primarily for thematic world maps. This equal-area pseudocylindrical map projection is commonly used for thematic and other world maps requiring accurate areas. This is a compromise pseudocylindrical map projection used for general world maps. This equal area pseudocylindrical projection is primarily used as a novelty map. This compromise pseudocylindrical projection is primarily used as a novelty map. This azimuthal projection is conformal and used for large-scale coordinate systems in New Brunswick and the Netherlands. This projection maintains the relative area on a map and presents the world as a rectangle. This is a faceted projection consisting of six square sides that can be folded into a cube. This pseudocylindrical equal-area projection is primarily used for thematic maps of the world. This compromise cylindrical world map projection compresses polar areas in comparison to the Miller projection. This transverse cylindrical equidistant projection is appropriate for large-scale maps with predominantly north-to-south extent. This equal-area projection was historically used to map continents. This interrupted projection takes a form of a star, and it is used by the American Association of Geographers (AAG) in their logo. This is a cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallels at 30° north and south. It is used primarily for hemisphere maps. The projection preserves both distance and direction from the central point. The aspect ratio must be between 0.3 and 1. This compromise map projection adjusts the parallels to the height-to-width (aspect) ratio of a canvas. This equal-area conic projection is best suited for land masses extending in an east-to-west orientation at mid-latitudes. This compromise modified azimuthal projection takes the form of an ellipse. It is a conformal projection except in the four corners of the square. This projection shows the world in a square.
