About our map Showing a spherical planet on a flat piece of paper has troubled cartographers for centuries. We have used the Robinson projection, developed by Arthur Robinson in 1961 as a way of showing the entire world at once . The Mercator projection - first developed in
1569 - is still used by many online mapping services, such as Google, but it does not represent the earth well on paper. You would not be able to use this map to navigate across the planet but it still represents one of the clearest ways of illustrating the globe
