Azimuthal Equidistant

This is a representation of an azimuthal map that is also equidistant. What this means is that it takes a spherical surface and places it on to a flat plane. This is possible by taking a flat plane that is tangent to the spherical surface so that contact is at a single point. Then if you were to look at the spherical surface that is encompassed through the flat plane, you have created an azimuthal projection. This example is also equidistant meaning that each point on the map is in true distance as it would be in reality and maintain their actual proportions to one another.
