A World Map That Reflects Reality—Not Distortion
Ever wondered whether Greenland is really the same size as China? Spoiler: it's not even close. In fact, China is almost four times larger—a fact that the traditional Mercator projection conceals with dramatic distortion.
The Gall-Peters Projection Map presents the world differently—accurately. Developed by James Gall in 1855 and brought into the public eye by Arno Peters in the 1970s, this equal-area map has become a powerful visual statement for geographic fairness and global awareness.
✅ Why Choose the Gall-Peters Map?
Equal-Area Accuracy
Unlike Mercator maps, which exaggerate the size of Europe and North America while shrinking Africa and South America, the Gall-Peters projection shows every country, continent, and ocean in true proportion to their actual area.
Accurate Direction & Positioning
-
All North-South lines run vertically
-
All East-West lines run parallel
This means geographic directions, distances from the equator, and solar angles are represented with scientific integrity.
Endorsed by Educators & Institutions Worldwide
-
Used in British schools for years
-
Actively supported by UNESCO
-
Adopted by Boston public schools in 2017, gaining international media attention
Ideal for classrooms, universities, libraries, and socially conscious home displays.
Highly Recognised in Media
Featured in articles and videos comparing distorted and accurate map projections. A compelling educational resource that sparks discussion and curiosity.
