Global Mapper v24.1

Flat earth projection

Hi,

I have been asked to create a world map for a Flat Earther's community but having trouble setting up the projection. Can someone please explain which spheroid I should use?

Cheers,
Steve

    Steve, I'm not sure on the technicalities, but I'm guessing it would be one that had USA right in the middle of the map.

    Correct, but remember to use the Mar-a- Lago datum.

    I hope you are right - I wouldn't want anyone to fall off the edge if my map is wrong! <span>:wink:</span>

    Absolutely.  On the 364 days of the year that are not April Fools day!  On April Fools day it makes perfect sense.
  • All jokes aside, an application I'm exporting to has a 'flat earth' setup which is what I'm using do to the lack of State Plane Projection. Does it work? - comme ci comme ça :/
