What are other projection methods used by geographers and mapmakers?
Three projection methods used by geographers and map makers are: cylindrical conic planar.
Describe the two sets of line that are used on globes and some maps?
One line is a projection that maintains accurate distances from the center of the projection or along given lines it is called an equidistant projection. Another line is a cylindrical projection which projects information from the spherical Earth to a cylinder.
What are the three main types of map projection?
Three types of projection include planar (the globe is projected onto a flat sheet, with only one point of the globe touching the surface), cylindrical (the globe is projected onto a cylinder with the all points along a great circle touching the surface), or conical (the globe is projected onto a cone with two lines of parallel touching the reference surface).
What type of map projection is shown on the Google earth opening page?
Google Earth uses a Simple Cylindrical (Plate Carree) Projection with a WGS84 datum for its imagery base. Altitude is measured from the vertical datum (WGS84 EGM96 Geoid).This is a simple map projection where the meridians and parallels are equidistant, straight lines, with the two sets crossing at right angles. This projection is also known as Lat/Lon WGS84.
Map projection is used for sea travel?
A map projection that is used for sea travel includes the gnomonic projection. This was most often used to find the shortest routes between points on a sphere.
