A Mercator projection map is the most familiar and common to usage in primary education systems. Mercator projections model the continents and oceans into a flattened and rolled cylindrical format. In comparison a Gnomonic projection is also two dimensional and flat but it uses lines which are actual representation of point-to-point s indicating true distance. Another significant difference is scale as Mercator's can represent the entire earth whereas Gnomonics represent a geographical limited area. Lastly Mercator's have the difference of distortion and under representing the actual sizes of Greenland and Continental Africa.
The job of a colonial innkeeper were pretty demanding. They had to have a license and abide by quite a few rules. They had to serve their guests, make their beds, and feed them. They had to rise before dawn to serve those staying in the inn. If they were regular customers the innkeeper had to supply their every need and comply with every request. If a guest needed directions, the innkeeper had to draw them a map or give verbal directions.

Robinson Projection because it has minor distortions, the sizes and shapes near the eastern and western edges of the map are accurate, and outlines of the continents appear much as they do on the globe.

The Mercator projection map is still in use today because it preserves straight lines, making it useful for navigation and exploration purposes. Its distortion of size towards the poles is less of a concern for these uses. Additionally, it has become a standard map projection for many educational and reference purposes, contributing to its continued use.
