2. Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse...

   Geodesy. The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth. Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.

3. Web Mercator projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Mercator_projection

   Web Mercator, Google Web Mercator, Spherical Mercator, WGS 84 Web Mercator[1] or WGS 84/Pseudo-Mercator is a variant of the Mercator map projection and is the de facto standard for Web mapping applications. It rose to prominence when Google Maps adopted it in 2005. [2] It is used by virtually all major online map providers, including Google ...

4. Transverse Mercator projection - Wikipedia

   (On the sphere it depends on both latitude and longitude.) The scale is true on the central meridian. • The projection is reasonably accurate near the equator. Scale at an angular distance of 5° (in latitude) away from the equator is less than 0.4% greater than scale at the equator, and is about 1.54% greater at an angular distance of 10°. •

5. Geographic coordinate conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate...

   Geographic coordinate conversion has applications in cartography, surveying, navigation and geographic information systems. In geodesy, geographic coordinate conversion is defined as translation among different coordinate formats or map projections all referenced to the same geodetic datum. [1] A geographic coordinate transformation is a ...

6. Military Grid Reference System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Grid_Reference_System

   An MGRS grid reference is a point reference system. When the term 'grid square' is used, it can refer to a square with a side length of 10 km (6 mi), 1 km, 100 m (328 ft), 10 m or 1 m, depending on the precision of the coordinates provided. (In some cases, squares adjacent to a Grid Zone Junction (GZJ) are clipped, so polygon is a better ...

7. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

   (The distance AB along the parallel is (a cos φ) λ. The length of the chord AB is 2(a cos φ) sin ⁠ λ / 2 ⁠. This chord subtends an angle at the centre equal to 2arcsin(cos φ sin ⁠ λ / 2 ⁠) and the great circle distance between A and B is 2a arcsin(cos φ sin ⁠ λ / 2 ⁠).) In the extreme case where the longitudinal separation ...

8. Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered,_Earth...

   The Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system (acronym ECEF), also known as the geocentric coordinate system, is a cartesian spatial reference system that represents locations in the vicinity of the Earth (including its surface, interior, atmosphere, and surrounding outer space) as X, Y, and Z measurements from its center of mass. [1][2 ...

9. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

   t. e. View from the Swabian Jura to the Alps. Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude.
