  3. Geographic coordinate conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate...

    The formulas involved can be complex and in some cases, such as in the ECEF to geodetic conversion above, the conversion has no closed-form solution and approximate methods must be used. References such as the DMA Technical Manual 8358.1 [15] and the USGS paper Map Projections: A Working Manual [16] contain formulas for conversion of map ...

  4. Linear scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_scale

    The length of the line on the linear scale is equal to the distance represented on the earth multiplied by the map or chart's scale. In most projections, scale varies with latitude, so on small scale maps, covering large areas and a wide range of latitudes, the linear scale must show the scale for the range of latitudes covered by the map. One ...

  5. Geographical distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_distance

    View from the Swabian Jura to the Alps. Geographical distance or geodetic distance is the distance measured along the surface of the Earth, or the shortest arch length.. The formulae in this article calculate distances between points which are defined by geographical coordinates in terms of latitude and longitude.

    Comparison of 1 square yard with some Imperial and metric units of area The square yard ( Northern India : gaj , Pakistan : gaz ) is an imperial unit and U.S. customary unit of area . It is in widespread use in most of the English -speaking world, particularly the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Pakistan and India.

  7. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...

  8. Metrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication

    World map, colour-coded to show the years the countries started the process of official conversion to the metric system. Using data from PhD thesis by Hector Vera and NIST. Metrication or metrification is the act or process of converting to the metric system of measurement. [ 1 ]

  9. Linear referencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_referencing

    A station number written on a silt fence at a construction site. Linear referencing, also called linear reference system or linear referencing system (LRS), is a method of spatial referencing in engineering and construction, in which the locations of physical features along a linear element are described in terms of measurements from a fixed point, such as a milestone along a road.
