🗺️ Map Projection Distortion Lab

🗺️ Map Projection Distortion Lab

Every flat world map lies — the only question is how. Draw nine real projections, overlay Tissot's indicatrix (circles that show exactly how the map stretches), and get the area and angle distortion at any point, computed live from the projection maths rather than looked up in a table.
