4 days ago · There are three traditional families of map projections based on developable surfaces: cylinders, cones, and planes. The most common map projections based on these families are the Mercator projection, the Robinson projection, and the Web Mercator projection (used by Google Earth and other web mapping applications). 2.
2 days ago · Even the most widely used projection, the Mercator projection, has its limitations. In this projection, areas near the poles appear disproportionately large while areas near the equator seem too small. It is essential to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each map projection to choose the most appropriate one for a specific purpose.
3 days ago · The Battle of Legnica (Polish: bitwa pod Legnicą), also known as the Battle of Liegnitz (German: Schlacht von Liegnitz) or Battle of Wahlstatt (German: Schlacht bei Wahlstatt), was a battle between the Mongol Empire and the combined defending forces of European fighters that took place at Legnickie Pole (Wahlstatt) near the city of Legnica in the Silesia province of the Kingdom of Poland on 9 ...
4 days ago · Google Maps uses the EPSG:900913 or EPSG:3785 code, also known as the Mercator projection, for its browser-based maps. This code ensures that rasterized vectors align with the underlying Google Map tiles.

Gauss ( Transverse Mercator)-projection on GRS80 / SWEREF 99. latitude of origin: 0°. longitude of origin/central meridian (CM): 15°E. false northing: 0 m.
3 days ago · Unsatisfied by the distorted view of the world that dominated the Western mind in the form of the Mercator Projection, James Gall and, later, Arno Peters engineered a new map in the 19th and 20th centuries. Based on a mathematical formula that Gall first proposed in the 19th century, Peters projected an image of the world that attempted to ...
5 days ago · This makes the UTM projection a secant projection and not a tangent projection like the transverse Merctor. The scale only varies by 1 part in 1,000 from true scale at equator. The ellipsoidal projection expressions are accurate for map areas that extend less than 10° away from the central meridian.
