- yreg 5y ago>Build the Earth project created a new map projection called Modified Airocean, based on the Dymaxion/Airocean projection. This map projection provides an extremely low amount of distortion of both shapes and sizes on land, at the cost of heavily distorting the oceans. Unlike a typical Airocean projection, Modified Airocean is not intended to be unfolded into a 3D object like an icosahedron, and has its continents placed such that it looks somewhat similar to an equirectangular projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map#Impact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map#Impact
