Chamberlin trimetric
type: Class
subclass of: Azimuthal projection
definition: A map projection where three points are fixed on the globe and the points on the sphere are mapped onto a plane by triangulation. The Chamberlin trimetric projection is neither conformal nor equal-area. Rather, the projection was conceived to minimize distortion of distances everywhere with the side-effect of balancing between areal equivalence and conformality. This projection is not appropriate for mapping the entire sphere because the outer boundary would loop and overlap itself in most configurations (Wikipedia, Chamberlin Trimetric)

Compromise map projection
type: NamedIndividual
type: Projection preservation property
definition: Neither conformal nor equal-area, but a balance intended to reduce overall distortion (Wikipedia, List of Map Projections)
issued: 2018-03-26

Conformal map projection
type: NamedIndividual
type: Projection preservation property
definition: Preserves angles locally, implying that local shapes are not distorted (Wikipedia, List of Map Projections)
issued: 2018-03-26

Equal area map projection
type: NamedIndividual
type: Projection preservation property
definition: Areas are conserved (Wikipedia, List of Map Projections)

Equidistant map projection
type: NamedIndividual
type: Projection preservation property
definition: All distances from one (or two) points are correct. Other equidistant properties are mentioned in the notes (Wikipedia, List of Map Projections)

Perspective map projection
type: NamedIndividual
type: Projection preservation property
definition: When the Earth is photographed from space, the camera records the view as a perspective projection. If the camera precisely faces the center of the Earth, the projection is Vertical Perspective. Otherwise, a Tilted Perspective projection is obtained (Wikipedia, General Perspective projection)
