> Most of OSM, including the main tiling system, uses a Pseudo-Mercator projection where the Earth is modelized as if it was a perfect a sphere. Combined with the zoom level, the system is known as a Web Mercator on Wikipedia.<br>

> This produces a fast approximation to the truer, but heavier elliptical projection, where the Earth would be projected on a more accurate ellipsoid (flattened on poles). As a consequence, direct mesurements of distances in this projection will be approximative, except on the Equator, and the aspect ratios on the rendered map for true squares measured on the surface on Earth will slightly change with latitude and angles not so precisely preserved by this spherical projection.
