The Equal Area Net (also known as the Schmidt Net) is a map projection that attempts to preserve the sizes of shapes and areas on the globe. It does this by distorting the shapes themselves to maintain equal areas, though it necessarily distorts angles and distances. The result is a flat map where all regions have their correct proportional sizes relative to one another.
