[Qgis-user] Mercator projection that shrinks toward pole

[feverzsj]

hi, b.j.kobben

It shrinks in a way that the whole canvas is scaled down. Considering the
Mercator is always recommended for nautical application, it should be
Mercator projection with some post process.

For example, Transas's ECDIS demo, DEMO_ECDIS_2519.iso :
