Introducing Coordinate Systems and Map Projections

Why should you care about coordinate systems and map projections? The coordinate system is a fundamental part of GIS data. Without the coordinate system, you cannot overlay or analyze two datasets properly. A map projection is an integral part of a projected coordinate system which strongly affects your analyses and the look of your data. Learn about different coordinate systems; figure out an unknown coordinate system, and check out various map projections.

2:15 Can anyone explain this? I didn't get it (I didn't understand the two options of km with different values)

[@saraimorales2356]

Excellent!, just one thing, on minute 3:42 is 80 degrees east and 50 degrees north for the Point P rather than 80 degrees north.

Hi I am using ArcGIS core in angular and I am plotting some graphics on map and when I am reading x and y coordinates I am getting that in 8 digits, is there any other way where I can get that same x ,y coordinates with less that 8 digits .in my code it is showing wkid 3857 . Because I am using that coordinates for futher processing with some other applications. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hello everyone! So I'm taking an intro to GIS class at my college and I'm trying to find any good forums or groups that I would be able to ask questions and problem solve stuff? I'm trying to find a good community forum that I could ask this question that my textbook had at the end of the chapter on coordinate systems! "In a Geographic Coordinate System all properties are distorted unlike a Projected Coordinate System, why might this be the case?" 🤔! I'm having a bit of a hard time thinking through this and I feel like it's something obvious that I'm just overlooking 😂! So if anyone is able to help me on this and/or able to suggest some good GIS forums I might find useful this semester I'd be truly grateful 🙏🏻!!

Excellent!

Good day , pleas can i have this power point presentation , i am using it to study ,thanks

I know I'm very late with the response... but yes in case someone else needs it: proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/devsummit19/papers/DevSummitPS_66.pdf

Strange reading signal means future values,,, came back ghost reading guess place bet on wheel deck and consideration of odds. For/against house wins again, closed windows. See'em bet, popular true guess, combination \permutaions. John.

The title isn't accurate. You definitely need some GIS knowledge to understand the contents here...
