Growing up in Poland, I don't think we encountered Mercator until much later when actually learning about various map projections. I think Mollweide projection is more widespread here for full Earth maps, and it reduces the stretching near poles effect.
- bipson 4y agoCan confirm, I'm pretty sure I was exposed to almost exclusively Mollweide maps as a teenager (Austria).
- teddyh 4y agoYes, I would assume that Poland would prefer to avoid stretching near poles.
- mc32 4y agoThe best projection is a globe. A nice medium sized globe that’s portable is great for teaching relationships between land and water as well as geography.
