minus-square🍉 Albert 🍉@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 天前didn’t mean only teach 3-4, just to not regularly use one projection. use a handful so no one instinctively learns to accept one. even though you learned a lot of maps, it’s likely most maps you used when not learning about different projections were the same.
