- Trying to do a project, not sure which is the best to use
(**I'm super sorry I didn't realize what this forum was for!)
Hi! Sorry if this isn't the best question, but I've been trying to do a project where I thought it would be interesting to talk about coastlines.
I downloaded a GIS (QGIS) to try and see if I could roughly measure all the continents for myself, but I haven't really done this before, so I wasn't sure what the best type of map would be better to use? I found a table that gave some advice on which is best for what purpose, but I didn't really understand and also didn't really know which would be the most helpful?
I thought the world extent and maybe equal area (since I don't need the coasts to me that accurate) would be good, but I'm not really sure.
Really sorry if this isn't a good question! Thanks!
