The cartographer Gerardus Mercator created the Mercator projection by mathematically projecting a vertically oriented cylinder tangent to the Equator. Navigators used this type of map because any straight line on a Mercator map is a line of constant direction.

This is the projection of choice from Google maps for this reason, despite how the south and north poles distort land size.
