等距圆柱投影（Equirectangular projection）常用于计算机图形学，如地球纹理映射。虽然在地理制图中失真较大，但在osgEarth中用于简化投影配置。与其他投影方式如墨卡托投影相比，等距投影在高纬度地区的变形不如墨卡托投影严重，适合显示城市地图。NASA的WorldWind也采用了这种投影方式。由于其简单的映射关系，等距圆柱投影在GIS软件中常作为默认选项。
Spherical or Equirectangular projection 等距圆柱投影/球面投影
The equirectangular projection (also called the equidistant cylindrical projection, geographic projection, or la carte parallélogrammatique projection, and which includes the special case of the plate carrée projection or geographic projection)
也称为简化圆柱投影、等距圆柱投影、矩形投影或普通圆柱投影（如果标准纬线是赤道）
While such maps are rarely used in cartography, they are very popular in computer graphics since it is the standard way of texture mapping a sphere.....hence the popularity of maps of the Earth as shown above.
