Answer:

Mercator projection

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of projection was named after the person that introduced it, Gerardus Mercator and it is used to plot a course on a straight line and is mainly used by sailors to chart navigational courses.

The Mercator projection is best for comparing the sizes of bodies of water because it uses an upright cylinder for its projection.
