Van Der Grinten Projection

Like the globular projection this projection is constructed by drawing circular arcs for both the meridians and the parallels. It has a pleasant balance of shape and scale distortion. The Van der Grinten I projection is a compromise projection and is not in one of the more traditional classifications. It was made famous when the National Geographic Society adopted it as their reference map of the world from 1922 until 1988.
