| Remarks | Constructed with tabular coordinates rather than mathematical formulas. Meridians are not equally spaced along a given parallel, therefore it doesn’t fall in to the pseudocylindric group of projections. See my blogpost Two Ginzburg and four Baranyi Projections. |
A Wanger VI variant, derived by Umbeziffern from the Apian II projection, minimized distortion by application of the Airy criterion. For more information, refer to my blogpost The Frančula Projections or Frančula’s original paper Die vorteilhaftesten Abbildungen in der Atlaskartographie (German). |
