The Anderson List

Please note that the contents at anderson.map-projections.net were not created by me (Tobias Jung, the owner of map-projections.net) – they were created and released into the Public Domain by Paul B. Anderson.
I’m just hosting them in order to keep this great resource available to the public.

Currently, I’ve applied no changes at all (save for the comment you’re just reading and the references list below) to Anderson’s original work of 2004. It will probably not behave well on mobile devices. Sorry about that.

Legal Stuff

anderson.map-projections.net does not use any cookies.
Apart from that, the Legal Disclosure and the Privacy Policy of map-projection.net apply.
