Transverse Mercator Map Projection

The following elements comprise the Transverse Mercator Map Projection section:

     



Scale Factor at Central Meridian, mandatory
a multiplier for reducing a distance obtained from a map by computation or scaling to the actual distance along the central meridian.
Longitude of Central Meridian, mandatory
the line of longitude at the center of a map projection generally used as the basis for constructing the projection.
Latitude of Projection Origin, mandatory
latitude chosen as the origin of rectangular coordinates for a map projection.
False Easting, mandatory
the value added to all "x" values in the rectangular coordinates for a map projection. This value frequently is assigned to eliminate negative numbers. Expressed in the unit of measure identified in Planar Coordinate Units.
False Northing, mandatory
the value added to all "y" values in the rectangular coordinates for a map projection. This value frequently is assigned to eliminate negative numbers. Expressed in the unit of measure identified in Planar Coordinate Units.
