Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
A planar map of the globe or a place is the planar projection of the map which projects the data on a flat surface which touches the globe. The planar projection of the data is also termed as a zenithal projection or sometimes an azimuthal projection. Such a projection is normally tangent at one point at the place or globe but may also be secant.
A straight line between two points on the map is not always the shortest distance. The shortest distance is called the Euclidian distance.
