I wish to hear your opinions about it . Also can you suggest hat kind of activities can I do with kids or assign them to know the differences better

I’m fairly new to GIS as my background is from Software Development.
Does this mean a 3d map is better than a 2d map when developing a GIS application/

Thanks!

Then why do we convert the 3d globe into planer co-ordinate system. Where as distance, shape and areas are already preserved on globe (that is itsoriginal shape). Distance measured incorporating the curvature of the earth will be accurate.
