Difference between Marcator maps and Peters World Map

Peters world map is a map of all the continents but labeling the countrys within them. The first thing I notice when I look at these kinds of maps, is that they are way more stretched out than other maps. So in Mercator maps it is what most kids see when they are in school and such when they are all the same size, but in Peters world map you can see a clear difference in size. Africa in Peters world map, is much larger than Africa on the Mercator map. It looks like its almost unrealistic and very stretched in the picture because we don't usually see it like this. In Mercator maps it does a good job of showing us lines of constant course and labeling key features. Mercator maps are very understandable and every body likes them since we have seen them so many times. Peters world map was more controversial and not as many people enjoyed it since it is a new and different kind of map.
