The themes were not a "new geography" but rather a conceptual structure for organizing information about geography. [1] The themes became widespread in American social science education and were used for teacher training by the National Geographic Society's statewide alliances.
An especially prominent method is the digitization and georeferencing of historical maps. Old maps may contain valuable information about the past. By adding coordinates to such maps, they may be added as a feature layer to modern GIS data. This facilitates comparison of different map layers showing the geography at different times.
As noted above, the iterative solution to the inverse problem fails to converge or converges slowly for nearly antipodal points. An example of slow convergence is (Φ 1, L 1) = (0°, 0°) and (Φ 2, L 2) = (0.5°, 179.5°) for the WGS84 ellipsoid. This requires about 130 iterations to give a result accurate to 1 mm. Depending on how the inverse ...

The National Geographic Society (NGS) began using the Robinson projection for general-purpose world maps in 1988, replacing the Van der Grinten projection. [2] In 1998, NGS abandoned the Robinson projection for that use in favor of the Winkel tripel projection , as the latter "reduces the distortion of land masses as they near the poles".
