How would both a Mercator and a Gnomonic map be used together in navigation?
On a globe, use a piece of string to find the shortest path between Yokohama, Japan (near Tokyo) and San Francisco. This path is a “great circle” path. Two maps are shown here, a Gnomonic (i) and a Mercator (ii).
Gnomonic used to determine the shortest route; Mercator used to plot a
series of rhumb lines to closely follow great circle route.
