The mercator projection is one of the most used world map projection.

麦卡托式是最常用的世界地图投影法。

The UTM system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each based on the Transverse Mercator projection.

UTM 系统将地球分为 60 个区，每个区基于横轴墨卡托投影。

The most common projection after geographic (latitude and longitude) is the transverse Mercator projection.

地理学投影（维度和经度）之后，最常用的投影是横向 Mercator 投影。

This was not a big problem from 16th-century sailors, of course, and the Mercator projection remains popular to this day.

当然，对于16世纪的水手来说，这不是一个大问题，如今 仍然很普遍。

Only prejudice, and the trick of the Mercator projection, prevents us from recognizing the enormity of the African continent.

是偏见和麦卡托投影所造成的假象阻碍了我们对广袤非洲大陆的认识。

But it comes at the expense of accuracy - the Mercator projection makes countries close to the pole look much bigger than they really are.

但它是以精确度为代价的，因为墨卡托投影使那些靠近极点的国家看上去比真实尺寸要大的多。

OpenLayers does not have the ability to re-project data itself, so all data included in a map must also be provided in Spherical Mercator projection.

OpenLayers本身并不具备重新投影数据的能力，所以包含在地图内的所有数据必须在Spherical Mercator投影内提供。

Sometimes, you will be able to request data in the Spherical Mercator projection, and the data provider will project it for you — but don't rely on this.

有时，您可以请求 Spherical Mercator 投影内的数据，并且数据提供者会为您进行投影 — 但不要依赖于此。

Map projection in cartography is a way to present a two-dimensional curved surface on a plane, such as a normal map. Figure 2 shows a Traverse Mercator projection.

绘图法中的地图投影方法可以在平面中表示一个两维的曲面，例如一个标准地图。

You can almost say that the "opposite" of the Plate Carree is the Mercator projection which stretches areas close to the poles in the opposite direction, making them look very big.

墨卡托投影可以认为是这种投影的反面，因为墨卡托投影下两极方向的面积被放大了。

The map you're used to seeing pinned on classroom walls and in Atlases is known as a Mercator projection, and was first presented by the Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator back in 1569.

过去常被钉在教室墙上而且常出现在地图册中的那幅地图以墨卡托投影著称，最早是由弗兰德地理学家杰拉杜斯·麦卡托提出来的，可追溯至1569年。

For example, the Mercator projection is widely used by boats and ships because it produces a map in which lines of constant bearing are a straight line, which greatly simplifies navigation.

例如，墨卡托投影是广泛使用艘舟艇，因为它产生的地图中，不断轴承线一条直线，从而大大简化了导航。

You then project (or transform) the coordinate from WGS84 latitude and longitude (EPSG: 4326) to the map's current projection (Spherical Mercator) and zoom to it.

之后就可以将坐标从WGS84纬度和经度(EPSG： 4326)投影(或转变)到地图的当前投影(Spherical Mercator)并缩放到它。

These and many other commercial free data sources use the spherical Mercator data projection (identified by European Petroleum Survey Group [EPSG] code 900913).

这二者以及很多其他的商业的免费数据源都会使用球形的 Mercator 数据投影（由 European Petroleum Survey Group [EPSG] code 900913 标识）。

The satellite cover are drawn on the ichnography of the earth with the projection of Mercator.

最后使用等距墨卡托投影，将卫星覆盖绘制在地球平面图上。
