Robinson projection
Compromise map projection defined via a look-up table of precomputed values
The Robinson projection is a map projection of a world map that shows the entire world at once. It was created in an attempt to find a good compromise to the problem of readily showing the whole globe as a flat image similar to the older Kavrayskiy VII projection.

From Wikipedia
The Robinson projection is a map projection of a world map that shows the entire world at once. It was created in an attempt to find a good compromise to the problem of readily showing the whole globe as a flat image similar to the older Kavrayskiy VII projection. The Robinson projection was devised by Arthur H. Robinson in 1963 in response to an appeal from the Rand McNally company, which has used the projection in general-purpose world maps since that time. Robinson published details of the projection's construction in 1974. The National Geographic Society (NGS) began using the Robinson projection for general-purpose, full world maps in 1988, replacing the Van der Grinten projection. In 1998, the NGS abandoned the Robinson projection for that use in favor of the Winkel tripel projection, as the latter "reduces the distortion of land masses as they near the poles".
