Illustration 2: The Robinson projection is a compromise where distortions of area, angular conformity and distance are acceptable. It is usua((y im$ossib(e to $reserve a(( c&aracteristics at t&e same time in a ma$ $rojection. -&is means t&at w&en you want to carry out accurate ana(ytica( o$erations" you need to use a ma$ $rojection t&at $rovides t&e best c&aracteristics for your ana(yses. 'or e.am$(e" if you need to measure distances on your ma$" you s&ou(d try to use a ma$ $rojection for your data t&at $rovides &ig& accuracy for distances.
