paris is closer to the north pole than 5000km so this is definitely not correct
ps: it is 48.8 degrees from the equator, and 5000km corresponds to ~45 degrees almost exactly, so at the very least it should cover the top of the map
So 8 million baguettes
Idk why but this just makes me angry lol
So that’s how they came up with the shape of guitar picks!
This is why when you see posts online saying „ballistic missile range“ for Iran, North Korea etc you have to check that it wasn’t made by a journalist who slapped a circle on Mercator. Even the Economist made this mistake in the past
Orthographic or azimuthal is much better suited for this particular use case
Yes, my website have this feature. actually my website is made for earthquake. I added this feature to calculate distance from epicenter of earthquake. Hmm… If interested visit http://www.ogdp.in in your computer and click analysis button on any epicenter. Then you will land on result page. Click 2D map where this feature is available.
