e. the other antenna being communicated with) and uses the map to determine the azimuth angle needed to point the operator's antenna. One side of the map shows the Northern Hemisphere, the other side shows the Southern Hemisphere, with the equator running around the edge. A useful application for this type of projection is a polar projection which shows all meridians (lines of longitude) as straight, with distances from the pole represented correctly. The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles. Richard Feynman once said that in physics when we are stuck, when all the old methods don’t work, then the new trick, the new method that is going to work, is going to look very different from anything we have seen before.

The antipode for Los Angeles is in the south Indian Ocean hence there is not much significant distortion of land masses for the Los Angeles centered map except for East Africa and Madagascar.

On page 350, he mentions “a new map of the world as it is” and says, “it contains all the continents and principal islands and rivers of the world, also, all the principal cities of the earth. A disadvantage of the new map is that you can’t see all of the Earth’s surface at once, but remember this is true for the globe as well. With the circumference of the Earth being approximately 40,000km (24,855mi), the maximum distance that can be displayed on an azimuthal equidistant projection map is half the circumference, or about 20,000km (12,427mi).

If the azimuthal equidistant projection map is centered about a point whose antipodal point lies on land and the map is extended to the maximum distance of 20,000km (12,427mi) the antipode point smears into a large circle. Goldhaber-Gordon added that this experiment would show that “locations close to the south pole appear far apart on the map,” although that is not the reality.A projection of a person on a page is also flat (see Jeff Brown’s ‘Flat Stanley’ character), but people aren’t flat,” Bennett said. citation needed] An azimuthal equidistant projection centered on North Korea along with ranges of their different missiles. When the center point is the north pole, φ 0 equals π / 2 {\displaystyle \pi /2} and λ 0 is arbitrary, so it is most convenient to assign it the value of 0. An interactive Java Applet to study the metric deformations of the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection. Jason Steffen, an assistant professor in physics and astronomy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, told Reuters that the south pole “is the entire edge of the map, and the ring is Antarctica.
