Map Projection Theory and Usage

What is a map projection? A transformation of spherical or ellipsoidal Latitude,longitude (f,l) coordinates to planar (x,y) coordinates on a flat surface.

The Map Projection process in more depth

How can we make a Map projection? … By using coordinate transformation equations (x,y) Latitude (φ) , Longitude (λ) y x Mercator Projection x = Radius × λ y = Radius × ln (tan (45° + φ /2.0))

Geometric Distortion is Unavoidable when Transforming from a Spherical to a Flat Surface

Different Projections have Different Types of Geometric Distortion

Understanding Scale Distortion by Studying Scale Factors across the Projection Scale Factor = Denominator of Principal Scale RF _________________________ Denominator of Actual Scale RF RF stands for Representative Fraction

Principal Scale is the RF of the Generating Globe 1:100,000,000 1:50,000,000 Actual Scale is the RF at a Point on the Projection in a Given Direction

Scale Factor 2.00 times as large 100,000,000 = at the point 50,000,000 ___________ = 50,000,000

Scale Distortion Patterns On Major Types of Projections

Cylindrical Projections Normal Aspect Transverse Aspect Oblique Aspect S.F.=1 S.F.>1 S.F.>1 S.F.>1 S.F.>1 S.F.=1 S.F.=1 S.F.>1 S.F.>1

Cylindrical Projection Cases

Normal Aspect, Tangent Case Example – Web Mercator

Transverse Aspect, Secant Case Example – UTM Zones

Oblique Aspect, Tangent Case Example --Great Circle Sailing Chart on Gnomonic Projection--

Oblique Aspect, Tangent Case Example -- Earth Day and Night on Orthographic Projection--

Which one is spinning correctly? Oblique and Equatorial Aspect, Tangent Case Examples -- Rotating Globes on Orthographic Projection-- Which one is spinning correctly?
