The IMW Polyconic projection is a modified Polyconic projection devised as a basis for the 1:1,000,000-scale International Map of the World (IMW) series. The IMW Polyconic projection differs from the ordinary Polyconic in two principle ways. All meridians are straight and two meridians are made true to scale.
