Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases. This projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula.

Answer:

Navigation or locations with  constant true bearing

Explanation:

Mercator maps are maps that are used for projecting the world on a piece of paper that has certain number of parallel horizontal and vertical parallel lines. Therefore, exact location of any point can be derived from such maps in terms of constant geographical bearings. The parallel lines are called latitude and the vertical lines are called longitude.
