Total commoner here that does not understand projection and such on maps, but I know that the popular map and commercial globe somehow does not show the true size of a country/area.
My first question is, how could a globe (which supposed to be a representation of earth from space) does not represent true size of an area?
Second one, can we produce a map that shows the true size of an area but can also be used for navigation?
XKCD for everything
Gall-peters seems good
