> It baffles me that anyone still uses Mercator projection for any serious purpose. Tell me you've never done any serious navigation off a map or chart without

  Ha. I have, and it probably was Mercator or something close to it . . . I probably should have clarified that I meant world maps (or continent scale, at least) where I would argue it's a pretty shit projection even for navigation purposes.

  I've done some serious navigation off charts, but never once used a Mercator projection — all the charts i've used have been Lambert conformal conic projection.
