The company Google is increasingly trying to bring quality services to its customers, which is also related to the improvement of maps and navigation. Most recently in the application you will find a function that koneactually shows the Earth as a globe and not as a flat map. This option is intended to ensure a more accurate representation of the Earth in the case of the computer version.

The new 3D processing was demonstrated by Google on its Twitter, where it is introduced with the description "The image of Greenland no longer resembles Africa in size". With this humorous reference, the company responds to the size disproportion between individual map elements. However, you won't find this feature in the mobile app, so the Earth is still constructed as a flat map section after zooming in and out.
In the following gallery you will find a comparison of the previous flat and new 3D display in Google Maps"
In this case, Google used the Mercator projection, which ensures the transformation of a curved relief into a straight, flat form. The truth is that this common system has become, so to speak, the standard in several applications that offer the display of the Earth, but the negative is the excessive distortion of the surrounding terrain. This phenomenon causes comparable dimensions of areas oriented near the equator, but landscapes located near the poles are depicted in much larger dimensions. Related to the team is the description above, which refers to the disparity of Africa and Greenland. On a flat map, Greenland is larger than the continent of Africa itself, which is of course nonsense. Africa is actually 14 times larger.
In 2009, an employee of the company Google itself spoke about this problem. According to the company, this system significantly helps in displaying individual angles of roads and highways. "When we first launched Google Maps, we didn't use Mercator. This caused the traffic network to be significantly distorted in higher-lying cities like Stockholm," noted one employee.ancov, working on the project. There is no word yet on the possible arrival of the same display on mobile devices, so it is more than possible that we will not see it at all in the near future.
You can't read that Slovak.
Poor little girl... shouldn't someone dub it for you?
And is it that you can't read or that you can't?
You can also read the article in the original language, in English, under the "Source" button. I don't even want to guess what bothers you about her...
If I translate it, they can go straight to the road.
Filip: Please forgive the stupid invectives and discuss politely. The gentleman made a point that most here agree with. Your pitch and entire post sounds really stupid.
Exactly, write in Czech, please.
Like if I translate it, they can go straight to the road, right?
Don't be like people you can't even have Czech on TV anymore xDD
Slovak is a beautiful language. If that bothers you, read the original.
What can't be read is your awkward reaction.
Hello, I really don't understand it. Would it be possible to write articles on the Czech site in the Czech language? I really consider this a failure.
Slovak and Czech are almost as close to each other as American and Oxford English. Instead of jumping in, I would recommend studying this very related language, it will probably be the only other language you will (at least somehow) master.
Dear Mr. Adam,
thanks for the recommendation i didn't ask for and it's stupid. You are also not right about the similarity of languages. I also recommend you - learn Swahili. No, I really want to understand the context and simply the entire article on the Czech website. If I want to read Slovak, I will go to the SK website. Thank you for understanding.
I agree, let both close nations study their languages, it will be an advantage after the restoration of Czechoslovakia.
You correct them all beautifully, but both the Czech page and the Czech language are written with a small "č". In addition, this is not a Czech site, the .eu domain definitely does not indicate a Czech site.
Moreover, as far as I know, Zavřel Media is based in Bratislava (Roman Zavřel, the founder and head of this site), so please forgive the snobbery.
I was glad to read that the opinion of two people is the majority, it seems to me like a tactic of the SPD…
If I don't know where to go, I throw politics in there, right? Thanks for the correction, spelling nac**o. I don't know where Mr. Zavřel lives, but he writes in Czech and intelligibly. I like his articles and enjoy reading them. I would end the futile debate - I don't enjoy reading in SK and it makes me tired. I don't understand some words and thus lose the context. I identify with Mr. Saaalis.
Why, Martin, don't you also go back to the fact that this is not a Czech site? If you don't understand the word domain, then I don't understand why you come here, it's one of the most basic terms in terms of internet vocabulary that we can come across quite often on this site.
In addition, Czech is also with a small initial letter. But I would like a lot from someone who ranks the Czech Republic and the Czech language (even if he doesn't speak it) above all else
Everything I wanted to tell you, Filipe, I wrote to you. Furthermore, I consider the reaction to your next post to be completely unnecessary, I'm not the guessing type, try someone else. Have a nice rest of the day.
And we used to be one country...boys, you are pathetic if you can write this!
But that's just your opinion and I respect it. NestI apologize for not understanding Slovak and it is unreadable to me, just like Hungarian, Polish... please refrain from unnecessary invective, you are only confirming my opinion and your overall complexities about the division.
Sorry, but how can an averagely intelligent creature have a problem between Czech and Slovak? The only ones who are complex are those who have a problem with it.
Satis eloquentiae, sapientiae parum.
Martin Seidl = TROLL
What is a troll? Could it be written in Czech?
Is there really someone who doesn't understand Slovak? Very Sad !! with such young people, they will make it to the canal diggers
A really meaningful answer. Yes, I am complex because I don't enjoy reading Slovak and I don't understand it. Have a good time, your Czech.
I am over 30 and I already wrote here once that it is inconvenient for me to read it in Slovak. Yes, I understand, but it annoys me. As a rule, I don't read anything in Slovak more than halfway through the first sentence. I don't have a grudge against our ex-brothers from the east, I even work with them, I just don't want to screw it up. It works for me the same as reading it in AJ..
Dear debaters, admit that reading in a language other than your native language is beyond your abilities :)
I don't have a problem reading English, I don't have a problem reading German, but Slovak is a problem for me, because it's a language I've never heard, I've never spoken to them, and I've never learned it. No one in the family speaks Slovak, none of my friends and acquaintances either, I don't know Slovak culture and I don't own a television. So how am I supposed to know Slovak? Slovaks know Czech, because the mainstay of their pop culture is Czech, and I almost only hear Czech on TV. Talking to Slovaks is difficult for me, because I don't understand their sentences and the written text is also a problem for me. But I definitely don't feel like some kind of "troll" or illiterate, I just haven't met Slovak in my life and I don't need to.
I also understand very well AJ (American and British), NJ, but Slovak is a problem. If I can contribute to the discussion, I will certainly only have articles in Czech.
oh yes, I wonder how you would live if we hadn't split up... but I'm a Moravian and Moravia is simply close to Slovaks. we also don't understand cajzlum and yet we have to live with it... :-(
So why is the title in Czech and the article in Slovak? So let them write the headlines in Slovak...
If the title was in Slovak, I wouldn't click on it and skip it. This is how it enticed me, a foreign language jumps out at me inside and I can either try to decipher it, or simply close the article again and start speaking in hidden Slovak...
