Source sentences:
text: Mercator projection is conformal, so it preserves angles making it perfect for sailing navigation.
text: Because the Mercator projection is a conformal one, the shapes and angles within any small area are essentially true.
text: The Mercator Projection is conformal and shows loxodromes as straight lines.
text: For example, the Mercator projection is conformal since it is constructed to preserve angles and its scale factor is isotopic, a function of latitude only: Mercator does preserve shape in small regions.
text: The Mercator projection is conformal because it preserves shape and angle but strongly distorts area.
text: The Mercator projection is conformal because it preserves shape and angle but strongly distorts area.
text: This is because the Mercator projection is conformal that nothing seems to be stretched or twisted at all anywhere on it.
text: The Mercator projection is conformal.
text: The Mercator projection is conformal, but at the expense of area.
text: The Mercator projection is conformal - a small island will be the same shape on the map as it is in real life.
