The authors of this paper claim their results are the most accurate 2D map to date, publishing their creation in a preprint (not yet peer-reviewed) on arXiv. The two-sided map.

THIS revolutionary world map may look unfamiliar - but it has been hailed the most accurate 2D depiction of our globe ever made. The clever 'origami'-style technique solves a centuries-old problem ...

A world map thought to be the most accurate 2D projection ever made has taken the top prize at the Japan Institute of Design Promotion's Good Design Awards.

Using these criteria, they measured and scored numerous maps. The lower the score means the more accurate the map, so a globe would score 0.0. At the time, they discovered the Winkel Tripel projection ...

OUR map of the world hasn’t changed much in centuries. It seems to be set in stone. The thing is, it’s not accurate. When this world map was charted in the 1600s according to the Mercator’s ...

The Japanese architect is named Hajime Narukawa, and in 1999 he created what he claims to be the most accurate map of Earth ever created. The map, which is framed in a 2D rectangle, depicts all of ...

See, the world maps we’ve been using for centuries don’t show the most accurate appearance of the landmasses, either. But the Equal Earth World Map is changing that.

STUDENTS have been left baffled after a school board rolled out a brand new world map for geography classes. School chiefs in Boston, Massachusetts, scrapped the traditional Mercator illustration t… ...

In 2007, Goldberg and Gott devised a system for scoring the accuracy of flat maps, where the closer a score is to zero, the more accurate it is. A globe, for instance, would get a perfect zero.

Some social media users are saying that Alexander Gleason’s 19th Century “New Standard Map of the World” is proof that the earth is flat and that Antarctica is not a continent but an ice ...
