I'm not sure I've ever seen a Mercator map except in internet content complaining about them
Have you used Google Maps? Or OpenStreetMap?
Huh.
Well I'll be damned! I actually thought Google zoomed out to a globe but that's only on the satellite layer.
At least those tools actually are for navigation, not for showing the entire world.
