2. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

   Learn how to calculate the distance between two points on the Earth's surface using different approximations and formulae. Compare flat, spherical and ellipsoidal models and their errors and limitations.

3. Web Mercator projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Mercator_projection

   Web Mercator is a variant of the Mercator map projection used for Web mapping applications. It uses spherical formulas with WGS 84 ellipsoidal coordinates, resulting in a slightly non-conformal projection that distorts angles and areas.

4. Google Maps - Wikipedia

6. Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system - Wikipedia

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

   UTM is a map projection system that assigns coordinates to locations on the Earth's surface, ignoring altitude and treating the Earth as a perfect ellipsoid. It divides the Earth into 60 zones, each 6 degrees of longitude wide, and uses a transverse Mercator projection with a standard scale factor of 0.9996.

7. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

   Learn about the history, features and uses of the Mercator projection, a conformal cylindrical map projection presented by Gerardus Mercator in 1569. The Mercator projection is widely used for navigation, web maps and atlases, but it distorts the size and shape of landmasses near the poles.

8. Azimuthal equidistant projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_equidistant...

   Learn about the properties, history, and applications of this map projection that preserves distances and directions from a center point. See examples of polar and non-polar azimuthal equidistant projections, and their limitations and distortions.

9. Google Maps Navigation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Maps_Navigation

   Google Maps Navigation is a discontinued mobile app that provided turn-by-turn voice-guided directions using GPS and Internet connection. Learn about its history, features, availability and comparison with other satellite navigation software.
