3 Every map user and maker should have a basic understanding of projections no matter how much computers seem to have automated the process. - John P. Snyder 3

4 Why is this important? Creating spatial data (collecting GPS data) Import into GIS and overlay with other layers Acquiring spatial data from other sources Display your GPS data using maps 4

5 Coordinate Systems There are 2 types of coordinate systems: Geocentric Coordinate System رزي ادات ظم Geographic Coordinate Systems ظم ادات را Projected Coordinate Systems ظم ادات ط 5

6 Geocentric Coordinate System 6

7 Geographic Coordinate System - Earth is not a sphere - Poles are flattened - Bulges at equator Earth is ellipsoid or a spheroid 7

8 Geographic Coordinate System Ellipsoid approximates the shape of the earth Model of the earth Also called an spheroid 8

9 Geographic Coordinate System Reference Ellipsoid Equatorial Reciprocal a (m) f 10 4 Radius a (m) Flattening 1/f with WGS84 with WGS84 Airy Clarke Clarke Everest GRS GRS Helmert International Modified Everest South America WGS WGS WGS WGS

10 Geographic Coordinate System A datum defines the position of the ellipsoid relative to the center of the earth Origin and orientation of latitude and longitude lines are determined by the datum Hundreds of datums customized for different parts of the world 10

11 Geographic Coordinate System A reference system using latitude and longitude to define the location of points on the surface of an Ellipsoid (φ, λ, h) decimal degrees (DD) degrees/minutes/seconds (DMS) E Example: A location of a point in Khan Younis: φ = N λ = E h = m 11

12 Common Datums Datum Ref. Ellipsoid X (m) Y (m) Z (m) S (ppm) ε x ε y ε z WGS84 WGS WGS72 WGS Adindan Clarke PZ1990 PZ Ain El-abd 70 International Egypt International Old Egyptian Helmert Qatar National International Zeros Oman Clarke TOKYO Bessel

13 Transforming between datums GPS GIS Special software Develop your tool Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 13

14 Geographic Coordinate System Universal Coordinate System (lat/lon) Lat/lon good for locating positions on surface of a globe Lat/lon is not efficient for measuring distances and areas! Latitude and longitude are not uniform units of measure One degree of longitude at equator = km (Clarke 1866 ellipsoid) One degree of longitude at 60 latitude = km (Clarke 1866 ellipsoid) 14

15 Projected Coordinate Systems A map projection is the systematic transformation of locations on the earth (latitude/longitude) to planar coordinates The basis for this transformation is the geographic coordinate system (which references a datum) Map projections are designed for specific purposes 15

17 Map Projection 17

18 This process of flattening the earth will cause distortions in one or more of the following spatial properties: Shape Conformal map projections preserve shape Area Equal area map projections preserve area Distance/Scale Equidistant map projections preserve distance Direction/Angle Azimuthal map projections preserve true direction 18

21 Mercator Projection 21

22 Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Developed by military Grid system Earth divided into 60 zones Great for small areas minimal map distortion distortion greater at edge of zones Most common map projection used 22

23 Universal Transverse Mercator- UTM Grid 23

24 Universal Transverse Mercator- UTM Grid 24

25 Projection Transformation 25

26 Transforming between Coordinates GPS GIS Special software Develop your tool 26

27 When GPS points don t align with GIS Data Most likely a projection issue if: There are huge errors data points do not overlay Features could be displayed in wrong state or hemisphere! 27

28 When GPS points don t align with GIS Data Possibly a datum issue if: GPS data overlays with GIS data, but off by several hundred feet Differences between NAD27 and NAD83 can be as much as 500 feet This creates problems when doing analysis 28

29 A point latitude φ, longitude λ and altitude h are (41 15 N, E, m). Find the geocentric coordinates of this point using WGS 84 Datum? 29
