- jacobwilliamroy 7y agoDo the AuthaGraph inventors ever mention the dymaxion projection? I always felt creeped out that the two maps are so similar, yet no one ever talks about the dymaxion projection. As far as I can tell the AuthaGraph people have neither confirmed nor denied knowing about the dymaxion projection.
- carapace 7y agoThey seem pretty distinct to me. The Dymaxion projection preserves shape as well as area. http://www.authagraph.com/projects/description/%E3%80%90%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E8%A7%A3%E8%AA%AC%E3%80%91%E8%A8%98%E4%BA%8B01/?lang=en http://www.authagraph.com/projects/description/%E3%80%90%E4%... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map
- jacobwilliamroy 7y agoOh wow. I never noticed. I thought authagraph just stretched out the seas to make the map rectangular. I can see now they are different. I found Hajime Narukawa's website and he actually has a several posts explaining various dymaxion technologies. Link confirmed! http://narukawa-lab.jp/archives/dymaxion-map/ http://narukawa-lab.jp/archives/dymaxion-map/
- ygra 7y agoGoogle Maps at least renders the map as a sphere on all zoom levels by now, if I'm not mistaken. So one place less to get confused about the shape and size of things.
