Earth Map Equal-Area

Description
Earth map where area is preserved. This is noticeable by looking at the ratios between the continents. For example, the area ratio of South America to Africa is very similar to that of real life.

Asia is certainly looking quite tiny.

Размер более чем реалистичнй. Европа и Азия и есть такого размера. Берите глобус или проекцию Галла-Петерса и внимательно изучайте

нереалистичный размер европы и азии на гигансткой карте

Is there a particular reason there's like a dozen GBR tiles but no LV or MK?

If I had to guess, I'd say @Chief used the Lambert projection, which is indeed equal-area and accurate.

Hi @arc1791

What projection are you looking at other than a globe? Any 2D projection of a globe will seem distorted.

Here's a list of cylindrical equal-area projections that you're looking for, arc:

So ridiculously biased against northern regions. Makes North America look tiny & Africa larger than all of Asia. Have you guys ever even seen a globe IRL? How can you pretend these are proportional?

looks good

Just imagine that you are looking at the Earth from space and your are right above the equator.

oh my god, I hate maps that make china brazil and the USA larger than canada. but it's still a good map
