• Winkel Tripel Projection


  doesn't preserve almost anything, just accurate in the equator area. Ellipse shape
• Authagraph Projection


  Most accurate map projection, sacrifices map orientation(meaning you get dizzy just looking at it) for near perfect area and distance. Rectangular
• Miller projection


  modified Mercator, rectangular looks normal(The one from the bowl questions). Lines are straight and equally spaced
• Conformal projection


  preserves angles
