This Logbook allows users to map various areas on surfaces, such as planets or starships in science
fiction settings. It features 32 faces divided into hexagons and pentagons with equal edge length
that approximate a sphere but also allow flat mapping of certain surface elements onto relatively
few flat areas for easier navigation through globe-like displays while minimizing distances between
geographical locations compared to other similar map projections like those found on globes.
Truncated icosahedron geometry allows longitude and latitude lines to be mapped alongside each
facet, making the display clearer with more accurate alignment of longitudinal lines in
corresponding sections of planetary surface areas than flat mapping methods provide. This Logbook is
a tool designed for creating detailed maps or charts that depict various surfaces such as planets or
starships from science fiction settings. It features 32 faces divided into hexagons and pentagons,
all having equal edge length which approximates a sphere but also allow the flattening of certain
surface elements onto relatively few flat areas to make navigation easier through globe-like
displays with fewer distances between geographical locations compared to other similar map
projections on globes like those found in astronomy. The geometry provided by truncated icosahedron
enables longitude and latitude lines along each facet, making it possible for the display of
sectional surfaces
