The Universal Mercator, commonly referred to as the Mercator projection, is a cylindrical map projection created by Gerardus Mercator in 1569. It is designed for navigation, as it preserves angles and shapes, allowing for straight-line courses on the map to correspond to constant compass bearings. However, it distorts sizes, particularly near the poles, making landmasses appear larger than they are in reality. This projection is widely used in maritime charts and certain types of geographic information systems (GIS).
Earning a certificate in GIS is not the same as GIS certification. Unless the certificate program you attended results in a higher degree such as a Bachelor's or Master's degree, there are no initials you can place after your name. GIS certification is a fee-based process currently handled by the GIS Certification Institute (GISCI), that evaluates the GIS proficiency of an individual by assessing their experience, education, and contributions to the GIS industry. Those individuals awarded certification by the GISCI may place the acronym GISP (for GIS professional) after their name.
GIS is basically cartography on a computer (information system). So GIS is an application of cartography.

GRASS GIS was created in 1984.
