| Remarks | A fusion of Canters W09 (northern hemisphere) and Frančula XIII (southern hemisphere) with a certain flaw. See my blogpost. |
A Wanger IX variant, derived by Umbeziffern from the equatorial azimuthal equidistant projection, minimized distortion by application of the Airy-Kavrayskiy criterion. For more information, refer to my blogpost The Frančula Projections or Frančula’s original paper Die vorteilhaftesten Abbildungen in der Atlaskartographie (German). |
