A compromise projection developed in 1889 for use with world maps.
Modified azimuthal. Meridians are equally spaced and concave toward the central meridian. The central meridian is a straight line and half the length of the equator. Parallels are equally spaced curves, concave toward the poles.
The equator and the central meridian.
Neither conformal nor equal area. Useful only for world maps.
