  • Calculating an Azimuth from One Location to Another A Case Study in Determining the Qibla to Makkah

    Ghazy Almakky, John P Snyder et al.ARTICLECartographica The International…1996

    For Muslims, the question of how to determine the azimuth or Qibla (Sacred Direction) to Makkah during the five obligatory daily prayer sessions is of great importance. Differences of opinion exist among Muslims as to how to calculate the azimuth from parts of the world not previously inhabited by Muslims, such as the continents of the Americas and Australia. Presently, there are two major and distinct points of view on this issue (Almakky 1994),…

  • The Transverse and Oblique Cylindrical Equal-Area Projection of the Ellipsoid

    John P SnyderARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…1985Referências: 3

    To prepare an equal-area map of a region predominantly north to south in extent or along an oblique great circle route, the transverse or oblique cylindrical equal-area projection has long been available for the sphere. To minimize shape and scale distortion along and near the central line of a larger-scale map and to eliminate all area distortion, this projection should be based on the ellipsoid. The formulas for the ellipsoidal projection are d…

  • Equidistant Conic Map Projections∗

    John P SnyderARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…1978Referências: 3

    There are about a dozen published variations of equidistant conic map projections. They are identical when using the same actual standard parallels, but the parallels are chosen differently. Greater use of the spheroidal form of the equidistant conic with two standard parallels (especially when chosen by minimum-error procedures) is encouraged because of its true meridian scale and low-error compromise between Lambert's conformal conic and Albers…
