What is a projected coordinate system?
How do I choose a projected coordinate system?
How many projected coordinate systems are there in ArcGIS?
Where can I find a list of supported projected coordinate systems?
Download the list of supported geographic and vertical coordinate systems. Projected coordinate systems are planar systems that use linear measurements for the coordinates rather than angular units. A projected coordinate system is composed of a geographic coordinate system and a map projection together.

Each projected coordinate system, such as "Universal Transverse Mercator WGS 84 Zone 26N," is defined by a choice of map projection (with specific parameters), a choice of geodetic datum to bind the coordinate system to real locations on the earth, an origin point, and a choice of unit of measure.
There are dozens of projections available in ArcGIS that can be configured into countless projected coordinate systems. Your choice of a projected coordinate system depends on many factors, including the part of the world you are mapping, the scale of your map, and the purpose of your map.
When working with data in a geographic coordinate system, it is sometimes useful to equate the longitude values with the X axis and the latitude values with the Y axis. Lists of the supported projected coordinate systems are available in projected_coordinate_systems.pdf.
Feb 27, 2020 · A projected coordinate system (PCS) is a GCS that has been flattened using a map projection. Your data must have a GCS before it knows where it is on earth. Projecting your data is optional, but projecting your map is not. Maps are flat, so your map must have a PCS in order to know how to draw.
