Examples of conic projection
conic projection
An example of the use of the rectifying latitude is the Equidistant conic projection.
From the en.wikipedia.org
An example of the use of the authalic latitude is the Albers equal-area conic projection.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Most state plane zones are based on either a transverse Mercator projection or a Lambert conformal conic projection.
From the en.wikipedia.org
These zones use the Lambert conformal conic projection, because it is good at maintaining accuracy along an east-west axis.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Aeroplane pilots use aeronautical charts based on a Lambert conformal conic projection, in which a cone is laid over the section of the earth to be mapped.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Pilots favor these charts because a straight line drawn on a Lambert conformal conic projection approximates a great-circle route between endpoints as long as distances are not great.
From the en.wikipedia.org
However, I believe there is an error in the description of the Lambert conic conformal projection on page 22.
From the newscientist.com
Unlike other conic projections, no true secant form of the projection exists because using a secant cone does not yield the same scale along both standard parallels.
