A flat map with the least error possible: The Gott-Goldberg-Vanderbei projection

Instructions:

Initially, the Northern hemisphere is shown on the left and the Southern
hemisphere is shown on the right.

Click anywhere on the Northern hemisphere and that point will become the central
point on the left.
Or, click anywhere on the Southern hemisphere and that point will become the central
point on the right.
Click on the Spin/Pause to start a dynamic rotation of the two disks.

If you want to click on a different location,
click Reset to start over.

Note: What is shown here are the two sides of a flat disk. To make the disk,
just set the backgound to “light”, print this page, fold the paper so that the disk are front/back to
each other, tape them, and then cut out the disk.
