Objective-C

@interface MaplySphericalMercator : MaplyCoordinateSystem

Swift

class MaplySphericalMercator : MaplyCoordinateSystem

Spherical Mercator is what you’ll most commonly see on web maps.

The Spherical Mercator system, with web extents is what MapBox, Google, Bing, etc. use for their maps. If you ever want to annoy a cartographer, suggest that spherical mercator is all you ever really need.

The drawback with Spherical Mercator is that it doesn’t cover the poles and it distorts (and how) its north and south extents. Web Standard refers to the extents you’ll find in most online maps. This is probably want you want.
