List of map projections - Wikipedia
WEBThis is a summary of map projections that have articles of their own on Wikipedia or that are otherwise notable. Because there is no limit to the number of possible map projections, [1] there can be no comprehensive list.
Projection Wizard
WEBProjection Wizard is a web application that helps cartographers select an appropriate projection for their map. Depending on the extent and the distortion property of the map, the application returns a list of appropriate map projections with additional projection parameters if necessary.

WEBMay 18, 2021 · World Map - Mercator Projection. A cylindrical map is one of the ways of displaying the Earth on a flat surface. These map projections feature straight coordinate lines, with meridians crossed at a right angle by the horizontal lines. Examples of cylindrical map projections are Cassini, Miller, Gall-Peters, and Mercator.

How Map Projections Work - GIS Geography
WEBSimilarly, a map projection is a method by which cartographers translate a sphere or globe into a two-dimensional representation. In other words, a map projection systematically renders a 3D ellipsoid (or spheroid) of Earth to a 2D map surface.
Map projection - Wikipedia
WEBConformal, or orthomorphic, map projections preserve angles locally, implying that they map infinitesimal circles of constant size anywhere on the Earth to infinitesimal circles of varying sizes on the map.
