    How the most popular map of the world has mislead people for six centuries pic.twitter.com/2rZBpE3XbR via @businessinsider @Toby_Bruce

    Business Insider
    The most popular map of the world is totally misleading
    Whether you realize it or not, you're probably pretty familiar with the Mercator projection. It's the chosen map of Google, and often displayed in classrooms around the country. It's also inaccurate.

        Thanks to modern technology, the solution has been found in many classrooms. I don't use projection maps. I use Google Earth.

        I do not think geographical size has anything to offer. We need to quantify Africa's contribution to the world
