Navigational maps for an ocean world should avoid traditional projections that split continents, as this is unnecessary for a world primarily covered by water. The focus should be on creating maps that simplify distance and heading calculations for manual navigation, as electronic tools are not allowed. A collapsible globe or a series of large-scale flat maps could be effective, although the curvature of the ocean world may complicate long-distance plotting. The purpose of a map in such a setting is questioned, especially if there is minimal land, but if islands exist, traditional mapping methods may still apply. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes the need for a mapping system tailored to the unique conditions of an ocean world.
