Direction, distance, size and shape can all be shown correctly at the "same time" only on a "globe", not on a map.
Explanation:
Though the globe is just a miniature representation of the actual Earth, it best serves the purpose of showing the accurate directions, distances, shapes, and sizes.
On a map, showing all these four attributes at the same time is not possible, for a map need to be corrected for various distortions, depending on what kind of a map it is.
