This map of Earth is the most accurate ever produced, and it looks completely different

This map of Earth is the most accurate ever produced, and it looks completely different | GTAV Technology and cartography in Geography | Scoop.it
From www.indy100.com - November 3, 2016 11:18 AM
Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa claims to have tackled a centuries-old problem - how to draw an oblate spheroid Earth on a flat plane. He claims the above map, called the AuthaGraph World Map, achieves this task. The projection, first created in 1999, frames the world's physical components in a 2D rectangle, attempting to represent their relative sizes as accurately as possible. It does so by dividing the world into 96 triangles, making it a tetrahedron, then unfolding it to become a rectangle.
