recommended comparisons | Ginzburg I Ginzburg II |
Azimuthal equal-area (Hem.) Ginzburg II |
This pairing is among the list of recommended pairings – but why? While very much alike at first glance, in direct comparision the differences become quite obvious. |
Remark: On these two projections, »scaled to fit« and »scaled to same width« will be quite identical!
