| Remarks | Standard parallels in the image: 90° North, 30° South. This configuration was set to achieve a result that is comparable to the configuration of Lambert equal-area conic that is shown here on the site. It probably has no practical use, that’s why I chose the name affix CM for compare-maps.net. Equidistant conic projections can be traced back at least to Ptolemy. |
