Map projections are methods of representing the Earth's surface on a flat plane, transforming a three-dimensional globe into a two-dimensional map. As the tech community continues to rely on geospatial data and mapping technologies, understanding map projections is crucial for developers, cartographers, and data analysts to accurately visualize and analyze geographic information, making it a fundamental concept in fields like geographic information systems (GIS), navigation, and location-based services.
