Transverse Mercator
•Transverse Mercator projections result from
projecting the sphere onto a cylinder tangent to a central meridian. Transverse
Mercator maps are often used to portray areas with larger north-south than
east-west extent. Distortion of scale, distance, direction and area increase
away from the central meridian.
•Many national grid systems are based on the
Transverse Mercator projection
