Umpamine, saking proyeksi Mercator, lingkaran garis lintang lewih lambih katongosin ring paek kutub antuk mertahanin skala lan wangun lokal, sane liyanan saking proyeksi Gall-Peters lingkaran garis lintang katongosin lewih paek ring paek kutub kantos pabandingan linggah lakar pas.
For instance, on a Mercator projection the circles of latitude are more widely spaced near the poles to preserve local scales and shapes, while on a Gall–Peters projection the circles of latitude are spaced more closely near the poles so that comparisons of area will be accurate.
