Blending World Map Projections

The idea of designing a new map projection via combination of two projections is well established. Some of the most popular world map projections in use today were devised in this manner. One construction method is to combine two source projections along a common parallel (for example, Goode’s homolosine combines the sinusoidal and the Mollweide projections). A second method calculates the arit...

Map Projections Minimizing Distance Errors

It is useful to have mathematical criteria for evaluating errors in map projections. The Chebyshev criterion for minimizing rms (root mean square) local scale factor errors for conformal maps has been useful in developing conformal map projections of continents. However, any local error criterion will be minimized ultimately by map projections with multiple interruptions. A disadvantage of inte...

New Map Projections for Ireland

The Global Positioning System (GPS) enables precise positioning anywhere on earth with a precision of a few millimetres, if an appropriate reference frame and positioning infrastructure is in place. This framework and infrastructure in Ireland is known as IRENET95, and is a precise realisation of the European Terrestrial Reference System, ETRS89, resulting in European Terrestrial Reference Fram...

Qibla, and Related, Map Projections

The Qibla problem determination of the direction to Mecca has given rise to retro-azimuthal map projections, an interesting, albeit unusual and little known, class of map projections. Principal contributors to this subject were Craig and Hammer, both writing in 1910. The projections thus introduced are examined. An unusual recent discovery from Iran suggests that Muslims might have been prior i...

Interactive map projections and distortion

We introduce several new methods for visualizing map projections and their associated distortions. These methods are embodied in the Interactive Map Projections system which allows users to view a representation of the Earth simultaneously as a sphere and as a projection with the ability to interact with both images. The relationship between the globe and the projection is enhanced by the use o...
