But here's the kicker. Your JFK Central Equidistant Azimuthal projection of spherical earth only reads courses and distances correctly from one point on Earth, JFK! All other distances, bearings, courses, etc are ABSOLUTELY WRONG. The originators of the projection, two hundred years before Gleason, recognized this.
Here's a SOUTH Polar Equidistant Azimuthal projection of spherical Earth. https://ibb.co/cDV5Xp (https://ibb.co/cDV5Xp).

Note that it does the same thing for the single point location of the North Pole that the North Polar Equidistant Azimuthal projection does for the south pole, smears a single dimensionless point into a circle of 12,500 mile radius, 78,500 miles in circuмference, just as the phoney "flat earth map" does to the south pole.
And you can make an Equidistant Projection centered on the Equator too. Here you can see the strange things THAT does to familiar outlines and relationships between different places: https://ibb.co/eWAQF9 (https://ibb.co/eWAQF9)

All this is proof that Flat Earth Cultists didn't make the North Polar Equidistant Azimuthal map. They don't understand how the projection works. They don't understand where it's useful and where it makes things the Cultists expect to be able to do on a map impossible. And all this is powerful proof that the Flat Earth Cultists simply stole a map they didn't understand and proceeded to say really stupid things about it that were lies.

Note that the second one is what a recent flat-earthdom syndromer tried to pander off as his own discovery after years of research.
