That's very interesting. Once upon a time I taught geography and we learned about maps. This would have been good to have then.

I couldn't open this. It said it timed out. So weird. I'll try again later.

That could be all it takes. I tried it from the link above & it worked well. Hopefully you can get a chance to see it.

I like the take of xkcd.com, the comic strip, on map projections. Some of these have bizarre names, but are actually real.

@VermontCathy Very entertaining.

After everything is considered, I think I prefer the "globe" the best. It's just that it is difficult to hang on the wall and stick into a book in that form. 😆

This made me feel a little smaller based on the actual size of the USA lol.
