Most digital maps like Google & Apple use the Web Mercator projection. It’s convenient for navigation, but it massively distorts the world: Greenland looks as big as Africa. 🌍

Nice feedback, thanks! Regarding geodesic, the measurements are already geodesic for WebMercator and any geographic spatial references (eg WG84), and planar for any projected coordinate system (except for WebMercator). And sketch tooltip distances/lengths are handled the same way as well.

学生たちに課題として出したウェブメルカトル投影されたXYZタイルの世界地図を地球儀に戻す逆投影変換について NotebookLM に解説してもらいました。なかなか良いコメントしてくれています。これがヒントになってくれるとうれしい。

@maplibre.org expects geojson to be EPSG:4326, only to transform it to WebMercator (3857) … 🪦

Fantastic demo at today's #Esri Virtual Dev Summit of a javascript web application using the #Spilhaus projected coordinate system and resulting map (no more #WebMercator). Demo featured the Ecological Marine Units data which can be freely accessed at https://arcg.is/1rjXLr
