Flat Earth Map FAILS the Polaris Test — Again, the Globe Wins

I printed a 4-foot Gleason’s map to see if Polaris angle measurements actually work on a Flat Earth model. Spoiler: they don’t. Not even close.

I used real-world data from cities like New York, Santiago, and the Equator, then compared their Polaris angles using pins and protractor measurements. Whether Polaris is 3,000 miles high, 500 miles, or somewhere in between, it just doesn’t work on the flat map.

🧭 Meanwhile, the globe?
Perfectly consistent. Just like sailors used it for centuries before GPS.

Here’s what I measured:

North Pole to Quebec = ~3,000 mi

NY to Polaris = ~36° (should be ~43°)

Equator to Polaris = 23° to 30° (should be 0°)

Santiago to Polaris = 6–21°, depending on height

Polaris height adjustments? Still broken.

You can’t fake celestial navigation. And you can’t fix this map.

Try it yourself. Show me a working flat model. Or admit that Polaris destroys it.
