My favorite is the Dymaxion projection created by Bucky Fuller. It shows all seven continents as one roughly contiguous chain of islands from Australia to Antarctica, surrounded by a giant ocean. It's no more or less correct than "north up" projections.

The thing that I like about that projection is that it shows just how close North America and Russia really are.

		Eyeballing distances is probably my biggest problem with dymaxion map, it is pretty difficult to do. Admittedly it is problem on many projections to some degree, but dymaxion is especially tricky

In college I wanted to buy a large printed Dymaxion map of the world to put in my dorm, as opposed to the usual movie posters. I could not find any place selling such a print.

		Nowadays, people sell poster-size Dymaxion maps on Etsy. One of the good ways in which the world has changed, I think.
