LAMBERT (Conic) projections

result from projecting a spherical surface onto a cone.

LAMBERT (Conic) Projections

Lambert Conformal Conic projection

•Area, and shape are distorted away from standard parallels. Directions are true in limited areas. Used for maps of North America. Lambert Conformal Conic projections are used for

rectangular zones with a larger east-west extent.

Ex: North Carolina, Tennessee

GNOMONIC (Azimuthal)GNOMONIC (Azimuthal)

Azimuthal—Geometrically projected on a plane. Point of projection is the center of a globe.

• UsedUsed by some navigators to find the shortest by some navigators to find the shortest path between two points. Used in seismic work path between two points. Used in seismic work because seismic waves tend to travel along great because seismic waves tend to travel along great circles.circles.

• Any straight line drawn on the map is on a Any straight line drawn on the map is on a great great circlecircle, but , but directionsdirections are true are true onlyonly from center from center point of projection. Map is perspective (from the point of projection. Map is perspective (from the center of the Earth onto a tangent plane) but center of the Earth onto a tangent plane) but notnot conformal, equal area, or equidistant.conformal, equal area, or equidistant.

• Considered to be the oldest projection. Ascribed Considered to be the oldest projection. Ascribed to Thales, the father of abstract geometry, who to Thales, the father of abstract geometry, who lived in the 6th century B.C.lived in the 6th century B.C.

Features of MercatorFeatures of Mercator

• DistancesDistances are true are true onlyonly along Equator, but along Equator, but are reasonably correct within 15are reasonably correct within 15°° of Equator. of Equator.

• Areas and shapesAreas and shapes of large areas are of large areas are distorted.distorted.

• DistortionDistortion increases away from Equator and increases away from Equator and is extreme in polar regions. The map is is extreme in polar regions. The map is notnot perspective, equal area, or equidistant.perspective, equal area, or equidistant.

• Equator and other parallels are straight lines Equator and other parallels are straight lines and meet meridians at right anglesand meet meridians at right angles

WHAT IS A NAUTICAL CHART?

A Nautical Chart is a graphic portrayal of the marine environment.

In addition to its basic elements, a chart is a working document used by the mariner both as a "road map" and worksheet and is essential

for safe navigation.
