Maps are flat because people arent going to carry globes around with them.
And again, its impossible to physically map a 3d object to a 2d plane. This is why every map uses some form of projection. No solution is perfect either, there is no way to do it without some kinda of distortion somewhere. Its mathematically impossible, people have been trying for hundreds of years lmao.
Navigating on a globe is not possible that is why.
Maps have distortion because mapping something as big as the earth with high accuracy is not possible. They are all just approximations. Maps are not created from a globe. The globe was derived from maps.
