English: Comparison of some azimuthal projections of the world map based on information on http://www.progonos.com/furuti/MapProj/Normal/ProjAz/projAz.html . Values indicated are mean altitudes in terms of Earth radii. Circles denote latitudes of multiples of 15-degrees (dashed lines represent the southern hemisphere). In the SVG file, hover over a circle to show its latitude in a tooltip.
