Comment on A flat map with the least error possible: The Gott-Goldberg-Vanderbei projectionparent

Comments

To me, Kavrayskiy VII still feels like the most balanced compromise among general-purpose pseudocylindrical projection - more so than Winkel Tripel, and of course miles ahead of Mercator but that isn't even a contest.

Agreed. The only thing i have against Kavrayskiy VII is that i learned about it from the XKCD about map projections, which makes me feel like a complete fraud.
