1. Characteristics A map is a flat graphical representation of a portion of the earth s surface A map presents several characteristics the main ones Types System of coordinates This is a table of latitude and longitude readings based on the meridians and parallels that indicate the relative situation of a point on the earth s surface Scale The relation between the dimensions of the elements drawn on the map and their real value measured on the earth s surface Cartographic projections All maps are approximate representations of the earth s surface They are only approximate representations because the earth s round surface has been drawn on a flat surface The creation of map employs a method that associates each point on the earth s surface with a point drawn on a map Different types of cartographic systems are used to make this association between the earth and maps points There are several different types of cartographic projection that are classified depending on the areas they cover CompeGPS allows you to choose the most adequate system for your un calibrated map such as U T M Lat gt Long Mercator France Lambert I You can also choose the automatic calibration which will leave the program to decide which is the best cartographic system for the map you want to calibrate Datums Any line or point on the surface used as a reference unit to measure another unit Basic and reference point on the s
