Another reasons to tut at the Mercator Map projection - how a circle with a radius of 5,000km, centred on Paris, looks according the the Mercator projection

@infobeautiful I'm always looking for new reasons to tut at the Mercator Map projection.

@infobeautiful On the other hand, people just talking about the Mercator projection being misleading all the time is a bit tiresome. No map projection is without faults. Just mentioning Mercator makes it sound as if you thought Mercator would be the most widely used projection.
