My guess was: you could have a different map, for different parts of the globe, ie a part that focus on Africa (and therefore has minimal distortions of Africa), and a separate part for America, and a separate part for Asia, and so on.
Well, in a way that’s what they did. They have two maps for each hemisphere which connect perfectly when glued together. But the idea of having different maps for different places on it’s own has been done countless times.
