Because there is no accurate flat earth, so it cannot be a flat earth map!
Circular reasoning noted.
Incorrect. It's not "Circular reasoning", but a bit of simple logical deduction.
- The chart appears to be in error by only 200-300 m.
- There is no accurate flat earth of comparable accuracy.
- Therefore the chart cannot be a flat earth map.
Simple!
If you disgree, post your accurate flat earth map!
I like the USGS AEP.
Your liking a map is no evidence of its accuracy! But the "USGS AEP" is fine, provided you take due note of the changing E-W scale factor.
But it is not a "flat earth map". It is just another projection of the Globe, hence the name,
Azimuthal
Equidistant
Projection.
Can you show the complete chart in question, along with the author and any writing on it indicating what type of projection it was, along with the basis?
No, and I won't bother trying! Since TFES does not even claim to know whether the flat earth has one or two poles, there can hardly be any accurate FE charts.
Lack of supporting evidence for your claim is noted.
Claim dismissed.
Evidence:
Even this Flat Earth Society presents these two "continental layouts":
Layout of the Continents
There are several theories concerning the nature and extent of Antarctica, as well as the overall layout of the continents.

Below are images of the two Flat Earth geographic models, which convey the different concepts of Antarctica within Flat Earth Theory:
Ice Wall model:

From: TFES.org, Layout of the Continents
If you don't even know the basic continental layout, you clearly cannot have an accurate flat earth map.
You could buy one British Admiralty Nautical Chart 3597 South Georgia, Reference: BA3597, $39.15.
You buy it.
Not on you sweet Nellie! Lack of an accurate map is your problem not mine! I know what shape the earth is!
And how does a projection of the Globe onto a flat surface help prove that the earth is flat?
I guess it doesn't, all you ever try to prove is that you are technically correct.
Depictions of the Earth on a flat map existed before globe depiction.
But, I asked you for "any FE map of comparable accuracy" - I guess you are admitting that you can't do that.
How is your question related to the OP?
Because the OP is about an accurate flat earth map - had you forgotten?
How is your post relate to the OP?
So if the earth is flat, why does it only take a couple hours to fly from one side of the world to another? Wouldn't you have to fly directly across the whole world if it was flat?
Not that I agree with the wording of the OP.
Yeah, the OP is not even about maps...
Were you the first one to post off-topic?
Or was I?
Either way, I suggest we get back to the OP.
It takes longer than a couple of hours to fly from one side of the US to the other side so the OP is dismissed.
I did not claim that the OP was correct, just that the implication was about the difference between a Globe and a flat earth map.
And even you in your first post seem to acknowledge that, take another peek:

I dips me lid to you though
Mt T. Lackey. It must surely be a thankless task trying to prop up the
poor dead horse you call a flat earth!
