WEBThe Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection presented by the Flemish geographer and cartographer, Gerardus Mercator, in 1569. This map projection is practical for nautical applications due to its ability to represent lines of constant course, known as rhumb lines, as straight segments that conserve the angles with the meridians.
