The Werner projection is a pseudoconical equal-area Map Projection , sometimes called the '''Stabius-Werner''' or the '''Stab-Werner''' projection. Because it is Heart shaped, it is sometimes called a '''cordiform''' projection. Each point is the correct distance from the North Pole so the north-south scale is the same everywhere at the central Meridian . Away from the central meridian and the north pole, distances and shapes are distorted. In a sense the Werner projection wraps the east and west parts of a Sinusoidal Projection around the north pole. The Bonne and Bottomley Projection s are intermediate between the Werner and the sinusoidal. EXTERNAL LINK
