conic projection

The continents in the conic projections are a little distorted ... See it now?

An example of the use of the rectifying latitude is the Equidistant conic projection.

The Albers equal-area conic projection features no distortion along standard parallels.

These zones use the Lambert conformal conic projection, because it is good at maintaining accuracy along an east-west axis.

Lambert conformal conic projection (preserves angles, commonly used in aviation navigation maps)

The Equidistant conic projection is a conic map projection.

Most state plane zones are based on either a transverse Mercator projection or a Lambert conformal conic projection.

Airplane pilots use aeronautical charts based on a Lambert conformal conic projection, in which a cone is laid over the section of the earth to be mapped.

The final form of the equidistant conic projection was constructed by the French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in 1745.

The quadrangle uses a Lambert conformal conic projection at a nominal scale of 1:5,000,000 (1:5M).

A famed astronomer and astrologer, Zimmerman produced one of the first Equidistant Conic Projection star charts of the northern hemisphere in 1692.

A sectional chart is a two-sided chart created from a Lambert Conformal Conic Projection with two defined standard parallels.

Unlike other conic projections, no true secant form of the projection exists because using a secant cone does not yield the same scale along both standard parallels.

Pilots favor these charts because a straight line drawn on a Lambert conformal conic projection approximates a great-circle route between endpoints as long as distances are not great.

A Lambert conformal conic projection (LCC) is a conic map projection, which is often used for aeronautical charts.

The Albers equal-area conic projection, or Albers projection (named after Heinrich C. Albers), is a conic, equal area map projection that uses two standard parallels.

As a specific projection, the American Polyconic is conceptualized as "rolling" a cone tangent to the Earth at all parallels of latitude, instead of a single cone as in a normal conic projection.

Small-scale DLGs are sold in state units and are cast on either the Albers equal-area conic projection system or the geographic coordinate system of latitude and longitude, depending on the distribution format.

The term "conic projection" is used to refer to any projection in which meridians are mapped to equally spaced lines radiating out from the apex and circles of latitude (parallels) are mapped to circular arcs centered on the apex.

In the United States, the National Geodetic Survey's "State Plane Coordinate System of 1983" uses Lambert Conformal Conic Projection to define the grid-coordinate systems used in several states (primarily those that are elongated west to east, like Tennessee).

Nimisha had had Helm make maps of Erehwon from space, a Mercator projection, a Goode's Homolo-sine, and a Lambert Azimuthal equal area for detailed views of smaller areas, plus modified cylindrical and conic projections for the hemispheres.

Data are in a single standard projection (Albers Equal-Area Conic Projection), horizontal planar units in meters, horizontal planar datum is the North American Datum of 1983 (also called NAD83), and minimum coordinate precision of one centimeter.
