/**
 * Web Mercator is a variant of the Mercator map projection and is the de facto
 * standard for Web mapping applications.
 *
 * Web Mercator is primarily created for tiled map services, as when zooming in
 * to smaller scales, the angle between lines on the surface is approximately
 * retained.
 *
 * The great disadvantage of Web Mercator is that areas inflate with distance
 * from the equator. For example, in the world map, Greenland appears roughly
 * the same size as Africa. In reality Africa is 14 times larger, as is apparent
 * from the Equal Earth or Orthographic projections.
