I have a GeoListPlot as below:-

gr = {{20, 70}, {-30, 30}};
GeoListPlot[Entity["City", {"Paris", "IleDeFrance", "France"}], GeoRange -> gr]

enter image description here

As you can see, the output is not rectangular. How can I make it rectangular?

Many thanks!

Maybe GeoProjection helps here?

gr = {{20, 70}, {-30, 30}};
GeoListPlot[Entity["City", {"Paris", "IleDeFrance", "France"}], 
 GeoRange -> gr, GeoProjection -> "Equirectangular"]

enter image description here

I'd like to include Lucas' comment as I feel it is important:

Might be worth noting that the default, GeoProjection->Automatic, is only non-rectangular ("LambertAzimuthal") at medium scales (whatever that is exactly), whereas "Mercator" and "Equirectangular" (small and large scales, respectively) both appear rectangular. Additionally, any cylindrical projection should do the trick.

  • $\begingroup$ Indeed. To preserve the projection automatically chosen by GeoGraphics, use the option value GeoRangePadding -> Full, instead of manually setting a cylindrical projection. $\endgroup$ – jose Jul 5 '18 at 23:30
