In geography, the antipode (/ ˈ æ n t ɪ ˌ p oʊ d, æ n ˈ t ɪ p ə d i /) of any spot on Earth is the point on Earth's surface diametrically opposite to it. A pair of points antipodal (/ æ n ˈ t ɪ p ə d əl /) to each other are situated such that a straight line connecting the two would pass through Earth's center.

The point antipodal to a given point is called its antipodes, from the Greek ἀντίποδες (antípodes) meaning "opposite feet"; see Antipodes § Etymology. Sometimes the s is dropped, and this is rendered antipode, a back-formation.
For example if the operator is looking to receive signals from a distant radio station, this type of projection could help identify the direction of the distant radio station. In order for the map to be useful, the map should be centered as close as possible about the location of the operator's antenna.
Mean high water neaps (MHWN) – The average of the two high tides on the days of neap tides. Mean sea level (MSL) – This is the average sea level. The MSL is constant for any location over a long period. Mean low water neaps (MLWN) – The average of the two low tides on the days of neap tides.

There are two distinctive mapping approaches used in the field of genome mapping: genetic maps (also known as linkage maps) [7] and physical maps. [3] While both maps are a collection of genetic markers and gene loci, [8] genetic maps' distances are based on the genetic linkage information, while physical maps use actual physical distances usually measured in number of base pairs.
