There are many good reasons for choosing mercator, the best one being that it is mostly conformal.

- mixmastamyk 11y agoYes, while zoomed in that property is useful, zoomed out less so.
- jpatokal 11y agoYou can't really switch projections mid-zoom, because the tile coordinates wouldn't match and you'd find yourself in entirely the wrong place.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoNot a big problem when zooming out from say, North America.
- kuschku 11y agoEh, you can. You can even do actual 3D rendering in browser.
- ris 11y agoI think you need to think a little more carefully about the geometry involved.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoSounds like you need to think a little more about the use case of these maps.
