Proyeksi Mercator

Proyeksi Mercator adalah proyeksi peta silinder yang dipopulerkan oleh kartografer Flandria Gerardus Mercator pada tahun 1569. Proyeksi ini dapat digunakan untuk peta navigasi pelayaran. Kelemahan proyeksi Mercator adalah proyeksi ini menyimpangkan luas daerah yang jauh dari khatulistiwa. Contohnya, jarak antara Norwegia dan Greenland menjadi terlihat begitu jauh, atau luas Greenland terlihat lebih besar dari Indonesia, yang sebenarnya lebih besar dari Greenland.
