=The curved surface of the earth cannot be shown accurately on a map because such a surface must be stretched or broken in some places as it is flattened. For this reason mapmakers use map projections.=
Map projections provide techniques to properly display features on maps, globes and atlases.
The other popular map projections include the so-called "compromise" projections, including: Robinson Winkel Tripel Dymaxion (Buckminster Fuller) Butterfly Map (Cahill) Kavrayskiy Wagner pseudocylindrical Chamberlin trimetric Fine's cordiform

There are many different ways of showing the world on a map, called projections, but none of them are completely accurate.
The most common map projections are based on three main geometric shapes: 1) Sphere to a Plane 2) Cylindrical Projections, 3) Conic Projections.
Two common map projections are Mercator and the Robinson Projection.

Map makers are called cartographers. There are 3 generally accepted types of map projections. These are cylindrical projections, conic projects and planar projections.
They are cylinder cone and plane
Distortion
Map are projections in a systematic transformation of the latitudes and longitudes of the locations on the surface of a sphere. Map projections distort the surface in a little bi, depending on the purpose of the map.

The grid location differs map to map. There are different map projections that particular researchers and cartographers prefer over others, and these different projections alter the grid locations for landmarks.
