Conformal map projection
text:
In cartography, a conformal map projection is one in which every angle between two curves that cross each other on Earth is preserved in the image of the projection; that is, the projection is a conformal map in the mathematical sense. For example, if two roads cross each other at a 39° angle, their images on a map with a conformal projection cross at a 39° angle.
