A map is a two-dimensional representation of the Earth. Maps incorporate projections and datums for accuracy. All maps distort the earth to some extent. When using a map with a GPS receiver, the datum and
coordinate system must match.

All coordinate systems reference some particular set of numbers for the size and shape of the earth (the datum).
Coordinates designate locations within a spatial reference system (datum).
There are two types of global coordinate systems:Angular CoordinatesRectangular (Cartesian) Coordinates
Latitude and longitude, and Universal Transverse Mercator are two global coordinate systems used by GPS.
Many other coordinate systems exist worldwide.
Coordinate Systems
![Page 10: Maps, Charts and Coordinate Systems](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56814352550346895dafce70/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A spherical coordinate system that is unprojected. Angular coordinates are perfectly suited to the spherical
surface of the earth. Coordinates are expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds
(and variations of that). Position coordinates are based on an angular distance from a
known reference point.The intersection of the Prime Meridian and Equator.
Lat/long is the predominant coordinate system used for nautical and aeronautical navigation.
Latitude & Longitude

Latitude is comprised of parallels, which are circles around the earth paralleling the Equator.
Parallels are designated by their angle north or south of the Equator.
The Equator is 0º latitude, and the North and South Poles are at 90º angles from the Equator.
The linear distance between parallel lines never changes, regardless of their position on earth.
1 minute of latitude = 1 nautical mile = 6076 feet 1 degree of latitude = 60 nautical miles = 69 statute miles

Longitude is comprised of meridians that form one-half of a circle.
Meridians are designated by their angle west or east of the Prime Meridian.
The Prime Meridian is designated 0º and extends from the North Pole to the South Pole through Greenwich, England.
Meridians are angled, and do not parallel each other. The linear distance between one degree of longitude at the
Equator is approximately 69 statute miles. The linear distance between one degree of longitude at the
Arctic Circle is about 26 statute miles.

Team Computer
The previous exercise was made on the team computer.
We added grids to make it easier for you.
The normal 2.5 grid map is more difficult to use to estimate positions.
Following is a map similar to those found in the cache.
