Can we produce a true size map that can also be used as a navigation map?

I might have used wrong term here, what i mean is that if you go to thetruesize.com which claims to be showing the real size of the area/country, you can see that australia for example will be almost as big as russia, but its not the case in a globe. I wonder if i misunderstand these wrongly

Total commoner here that does not understand projection and such on maps, but I know that the popular map and commercial globe somehow does not show the true size of a country/area. My first question is, how could a globe (which supposed to be a representation of earth from space) does not represent true size of an area? Second one, can we produce a map that shows the true size of an area but can also be used for navigation?
