A planar projection map is most useful for sea navigation. True or False
svp [43]

True, A 'planar projection map' is helpful for sea navigation.

<u>Explanation: </u>

A 'planar projection map' that shows the particulars of the globe in a flat surface projection. The pictures projected by the map are shown in rectangular-shaped. If any other map such as Cylindrical map is used then, the edges are not so perfect, they show distortion. With the help of all three coordinates, it shows a 3-D picture of the globe and its objects which can be considered almost as real as the actual object. They are also known as azimuthal projections and are mostly used in projecting polar regions.
