It's called a Gleason map

Just so we are clear: you believe that this is an accurate map of a flat Earth?

That is there model. Isn't that what you asked for? I mean a globe would be the non flat earth model and isn't accurate either. Remember they found out earth is pear shaped.

I don't think the Gleason map is an accurate map of a flat Earth. When he applied for the patent the author was aware and in full knowledge that the map was just a projection of the spherical Earth. And he stated that in the patent filling. But, I'm not sure you're aware of this ... privately Alexander Gleason said that was the only way he was allowed to publish his work.

Nevertheless, I found it useful for modelling. For instance in regards to time zones, which only make sense on a flat level plane.

I can't believe you write a post mocking flat Earth and haven't seen a copy of the Gleason's map. It was publish in the 19th century, and can be easily downloaded.

I have seen the map. However, most flat Earthers are reluctant to claim that it's accurate.

Do yiu think it is?
