used in various scientific studies
has historical significance in the development of cartography has a specific mathematical formula for transformation can be adjusted for different regions can be implemented in various software tools can be used for both small and large scale maps can be visualized in 3 D representations commonly used in educational materials maintains shape locally not equal area not equidistant often compared to other conic projections often used for aviation charts often used in state plane coordinate systems provides a good balance between shape and area requires parameters for projection used for mapping mid-latitude regions is a standard projection in many mapping conventions is often included in geographic information systems (GIS) training. |
