What's your favorite map projection?

[Gustone]

I think the irritating thing about Goode's Homolosine isn't the "orange-peel" technique - I can see the potential applications of that - it's the fact that it's not "a" projection but two projections grafted together - Sinusoidal in the equatorial band and Mollweide further N and S... giving that distinct "break" at about 40-44 N and S. That's just... cheating

Goode Homolosine is just the projections mashed together.

You can intrrupt any projection:
Mollweide

Sinusoidal

(the components of homolosine e.g.)

That one is not equal area nor equal distance.

I didn't say that the AuthaGraph was my favorite though?

For those of you who are really into this sort of thing, the article from the 1911 Brittanica goes pretty in-depth into all aspects of cartography... well, at least up until 1911 https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclopædia_Britannica/Map
