When you're driving on a highway in an area without mountains/hills why does everything appear flat and not round?
Why are flat maps useful for navigation if the earth is actually round? If flat maps are better doesn't that imply that the earth that the maps are modeling is probably flat?

Also maps are distorted as hell and everyone acts like there's no way around that problem.
You'd think the Navy or someone would be using 3D projections of globes to visualise where all of their shit is and to map out missile firing scenarios with perfect precision and no distortion but NOPE!
Meanwhile the flat earth map is free of distortions https://i2.wp.com/flatearthdeception.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/AzimuthalMap-northpole.gif?resize=480%2C512
