Working with Map Projections Map Projections Latitude/Longitude Lambert Conformal Conic UTM/State Plane /projections/ What are Map Projections? A map projection is simply a way of representing the 3D surface of the Earth onto a 2D map. Often the Earth’s surface, which is an ellipsoid, is reprojected onto another surface such as a plane so that distance and azimuth computations are much simpler. As a result, all map projections have some distortion that has to be corrected. SoloField requires the user to choose between a U.S.-based National Geodetic System (NGS) or an International System.
