The #CorrectTheMap campaign thinks #Africa is the center of the world? 😆

Some news for cartographers, from the highly-sensationalized #CorrectTheMap campaign

(Their mission to get rid of #Mercator-projection illustrative world maps is a good fight, but a lot of their rhetoric is very ill-informed/misleading.)

Screenshot of text: 5. What should we look for in a good world map? There are two key rules: Preserve area: Countries should appear in their correct size relative to one another. Roundedness: The map should still look like a globe flattened gently—no wild stretching. No map is perfect, but some are fairer. The Equal Earth, Gall-Peters, and other equal-area projections do a better job at showing the world truthfully. 6. How can I spot a misleading map?

A quick one today. Here is the Red Rocks site in the southern hemisphere of Phobos ... and in both the north and south for Deimos. I only just figured out I can post more than one image at once.

I'm blown away by how many people think the Mercator map projection is accurate in its depiction of the size of continents and that the UN vote to adopt a more accurate projection is some sort of conspiracy. 😂 #maps #cartography

@erc-richardson.bsky.socialSep 5, 2026, 11:01 PM

I'm excited to hear about the Equal Earth map being approved by the United Nations. Maps shape people's understanding of the world, and Africa is the second largest continent in the world. #EqualEarthprojection #maps #worldgeography

9/9

The Office welcomes a resolution which retains a useful projection, but ends its unexamined appointment to an unsuitable post.

Curvature remains in force.

Earth has declined to become two-dimensional for administrative convenience.

1/ The UN voted to stop using the inaccurate 1569 Mercartor world map and begin using more accurate Equal Earth map showing true size of Africa. 164 countries voted in favor. The US was the only country that voted against. Six other countries abstained. #maps

@livingmaps.bsky.social Following a UN resolution passed to promote map projections that better reflect the true size of countries on global maps. Professor James Cheshire explains the complexities of the Mercator map and how such maps impact the way we view the world
