@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.
@tml @infobeautiful I was going to write something like this, but you did a better job than I would have, so I'll just star it.
