A map of the world using the Natural Earth projection, a pseudocylindrical projection which is neither conformal nor equal-area. The projection was designed by Tom Patterson, an American cartographer with the National Park Service who has developed several open-source tools and base maps for cartographers.

This map is a derivative of NASA's Blue Marble summer month composite, with oceans lightened to enhance legibility and contrast.Map: Strebe, using the Geocart map projection software

Discussion needed

edit

This article only explains how the projection is produced; there is no discussion of how it was developed (other than to say who did it), why it was derived, what its advantages and disadvantages are, etc. As such, it's practically a stub. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:19, 15 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
